Grantmaking institutions

Grantmaking institutions are organizations that provide funding to support projects, programs, or initiatives in areas like education, health, arts, or community development. They do not run these projects themselves but give grants—funds awarded based on proposals that meet specific goals and criteria. These institutions often include foundations, government agencies, and nonprofits. Their goal is to promote positive change or innovation by empowering others to implement impactful work. Effective grantmaking involves careful review, monitoring, and evaluation to ensure funds are used effectively and align with their mission.
