01

Tailored Strategy Design

We design customized grantmaking strategies tailored to make significant, lasting change.

Each individual strategy is informed by deep understanding of our clients’ priorities, knowledge of the nonprofit sector, research of best practices, intentional listening to the people whom philanthropy seeks to serve and understanding of where strategic application of grant dollars has the potential for maximum impact.

02 Grants Portfolio Management

We match interest areas with effective work being done locally and nationally, and present grantmaking opportunities selected for their potential to make a difference that lasts.

We manage grant applications, grant review, grantmaking, due diligence and all communication with grantees and fellow funders. And we follow up with reporting on the impact of the work.

Research Project Management

To make meaningful, lasting change, deep knowledge of issues, communities, best practices and organizations is fundamental.

We conduct thorough research – including incorporating outside analysis, data and multi-layered expertise, seeking out unlikely leaders and community voices – to understand areas of potential and inform effective grantmaking strategy and program design.
