Sometimes piggybacking off of another funder’s hard work makes a lot of sense. Consider supporting a funder you respect. The result? A simplified grant making process for you and the grantee, and the potential to deliver a higher-impact grant. You might even learn a thing or two about how another funder operates that could inform your own process.

Among the options: Consider working with a foundation, venture philanthropy firm, or donor advised fund in your area of interest.
