Practical Grantmaking: How to Achieve More with Less Overhaul

Philanthropy is evolving, and while new grantmaking approaches promise impact, they often come with high costs — strategic overhauls, resource-intensive changes, and complex decision-making. But what if you could improve your grantmaking without a full-scale transformation?

Our latest white paper, Practical Grantmaking: How to Achieve More with Less Overhaul, introduces practical, bite-sized reforms that help funders distribute more money, reduce paperwork, and reach new beneficiaries — without the heavy lift.

Here’s a sneak peek at three of the powerful strategies:

 ♦  Increase Existing Support – A simple yet effective way to amplify impact is by increasing funding for grantees you already trust. This deepens partnerships and allows nonprofits to focus on their mission rather than chasing new funding.

 ♦  Multi-Year Grants – Streamlining funding over multiple years reduces paperwork and provides grantees with financial stability, giving them more time to focus on real change.

 ♦  Collaborative Funding – Joining forces with other funders through pooled grants expands reach, reduces administrative burden, and maximizes collective impact.

These are just a few of the practical approaches covered in the full white paper. Ready to rethink your grantmaking strategy? Learn about practical grantmaking practices and how to implement them by reading the full white paper here. ➞
