It’s incredibly refreshing to hear discussions about supporting grant-making charities and highlighting the immense value they provide. Here are my takeaways from the podcast: ✔ Nurturing Application Process. By supporting grant-making charities, foundations can extend their reach supporting a larger number of organisations and projects than might otherwise be possible. Even if organisations do not receive funding, make sure they benefit from the process, gaining insights and feedback to strengthen their future efforts. ✔ Visibility of Smaller Organisations. Supporting grant-making charities enables funders to discover and evaluate the work of smaller organisations that might otherwise go unnoticed. ✔ Insight from Grantees. Rather than asking fellow funders who to fund, why not ask grantees? They know their landscape and who is doing impactful work within their community. Again, reaching those hidden organisations that are doing amazing work on the ground. Vision Foundation is a great example of such a grant-making charity, diligently working to fund impactful projects and build capacity within the sight loss sector.
