We believe that an essential part of grantmaking is to encourage continuous learning and sharing of knowledge. With many of our grants, we are funding a nascent project or idea, and in doing so, we learn a lot about making an impact as the project grows. By sharing insights into strategies and best practices, we can have an enduring impact beyond the grant itself.
