How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Unrestricted Grantmaking for Organizational Empowerment
    methodology: unrestricted_grantmaking
    By providing unrestricted grants, we strengthen grantees' ability to advance their mission and adapt to emerging needs, because it trusts their leadership and prioritizes organizational autonomy over prescriptive funding.
