I certainly understand the reticence on this. Indeed, some of these reporting regimes are woefully inappropriate, even seemingly punitive. However, requiring reports for grants under $10,000 is not necessarily de facto wrong, as long as it's not unreasonably burdensome on the beneficiary organization. Keep in mind that, frequently, these smaller grants can sometime serve as a “pipeline” to larger amounts in the future, offering grant agencies a way to gauge the transparency and competencies of their partner nonprofit beneficiaries and, potentially, "ladder up" to higher levels in the future. It’s why stewardship of your philanthropic investors is so important. Accountability should be celebrated as part of best practices in the nonprofit sector; on the other side, an understanding by the benefactor that small nonprofits can benefit from patience, mentoring, and reasonable performance criteria can help make its recipients stronger in the long run. As long as expectations are clear and communications is flowing from both sides of the grantor/grantee table, there actually could be a larger pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for all involved: foundations, nonprofits and, most importantly, recipients of the nonprofit's services.

Driving awareness on SBCA Foundation and its recently released Hardship Grant! The SBCA Foundation trustees recently created a hardship grant to help people in the component industry through a difficult time. It can be a natural disaster, illness, or other setback, the Foundation is looking to help! They've budgeted $50,000 for this year with a cap at $5,000 per applicant. However, smaller amounts will definitely be considered and awarded! The only requirement is the person or family member work for a Structural Building Components Association (SBCA) or National Framers Council (NFC) member. We have two ways to participate. First, you can nominate someone who might not otherwise apply for the grant. The other option is to directly apply for the grant.
