The switch from checkbook philanthropy to grantmaking is a fascinating learning curve, causing veterans of the game to feel that even after years of experience, they are still learning the art. Grantmaking can be the most challenging, and the most fun part of the process, and we want you to relish it. Some people will enjoy the process, others may feel tentative. As always, we want you to focus on the aspects that give you joy, and we are happy to take up the slack. Benefactory advisors are prepared to:
- Give tutorials on good site visits and accompany family members on them
- Give tutorials on grantmaking basics
- Manage the communication with grantees
- Design assessment tools
- Suggest and coordinate multi-year grants, as appropriate
- Teach family members the differences between charitable, strategic, and social venture philanthropy,
Shrewd grantmaking means more impact!
If you are a highly successful business person, you have, no doubt, spent key resources on such activities as planning, human resource development, and leadership. You have made sure that employees have the technical support they need. You have set milestones and looked at outcomes. So why not support those standards in the non-profits you believe in?
Some of the best philanthropy being done currently is when donors forego the immediate pleasures of funding new programs and instead support the capacity-building of their favorite non-profits. We can help.
