资助者对公民权利法律的动员的发展有什么影响？筹款对于权利组织的创建、运作和生存至关重要。然而，尽管资金的重要性，很少有系统的关注，在法律和社会运动，并导致关于资助者和受赠者之间的关系的律师文献。这篇文章恢复了一个被遗忘的历史，全国有色人种协进会（NAACP）的运动，以保护黑人的生命从私刑和暴徒暴力在二十世纪初。我认为，资助者从事的运动捕获的过程中，他们利用自己的财务杠杆，以重新引导全国有色人种协进会的议程从种族暴力问题的重点放在教育在民权运动的关键时刻。本文的研究结果表明，活动家们谨慎行事，因为资助者和社会运动组织之间的互动往往会在活动家想要的东西和资助者认为运动应该做的事情之间产生差距。
What influence do funders have on the development of civil rights legal mobilization? Fundraising is critical to the creation, operation, and survival of rights organizations. Yet, despite the importance of funding, there is little systematic attention in the law and social movements and cause lawyering literatures on the relationship between funders and grantees. This article recovers a forgotten history of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's (NAACP) campaign to protect black lives from lynchings and mob violence in the early twentieth century. I argue that funders engaged in a process of movement capture whereby they used their financial leverage to redirect the NAACP's agenda away from the issue of racial violence to a focus on education at a critical juncture in the civil rights movement. The findings in this article suggest that activists tread carefully as the interaction between funders and social movement organizations often creates gaps between what activists want and what funders think movements should do.
