Grantmaking Process

The grantmaking process involves several key steps to distribute funds for specific projects or causes. First, organizations identify funding priorities and announce available grants. Then, applicants submit proposals outlining their projects, budget, and goals. After reviewing submissions, the funders evaluate proposals based on criteria like feasibility and impact. Selected applicants receive funding agreements, detailing the terms. Once projects are underway, funders monitor progress and may require reports on outcomes. Finally, the process concludes with assessing overall success, which informs future grantmaking strategies. This cycle ensures that resources effectively support initiatives that align with funders' missions.
