Would using tools like recoverable grants, recyclable capital, low interest or forgivable loans, or other structures make sense for your partners or those you are looking to support in the future?
What non-grant tools can we use with grantees? Are we ready to use them?
Should we be working with impact investors or Development Finance Institutions (DFIs)?
Is our organization set up to use non-grant capital? If not, what needs to change?
What type of non-grant capital would help us do more as a funder?
I have spent my career helping build bridges between 'doers' and 'donors' and know intimately what type of products are viable to make progress, and which are a waste of a donor or recipient's time.
I am committed to ensuring that capital is flexible, aligned with organizational mission, and that the funding structure is based on what the recipient can actually use.
I have advised dozens of donors on grant making strategy, mission alignment, collaborations and innovative non-grant capital.
Having analyzed the methods of effective non-grant making tools, and seeing the growing trends among 'doers' towards utilizing non-grants, now is the best time to test new practices and meet your grantee partners where they are.
I look forward to supporting you as you explore the right tools for your grant making strategy!
