We strive, however, for our grantmaking to be a relationship rather than a unidirectional flow of resources. Relationships built on trust and shared learning are essential to the success of our grantmaking.
Our advisors help the organizations they fund with mentoring and connections to larger movements and other institutions. By bringing back ideas and knowledge from grantees, advisors also help their colleagues and broader movements to work out new solutions to the problems that confront them.
