Going Beyond Grantmaking

The article, "Going Beyond Grantmaking: Using External Help to Extend a Foundation’s Core Competencies and Increase Its Impact," uses a series of case studies to explore how funders can use third parties’ specialized skills and experience to extend their own capacities to do things such as develop effective impact investing programs, incubate new projects and organizations, facilitate collaborations that cross institutional and even sector boundaries, advocate for change and more.

 

The article's authors work for Arabella Advisors, a certified B corporation that often helps foundations and impact investors launch or enhance social-change efforts employing both grants and other tools.
