Grantmaking practices that reflect an organization’s values, aspirations, priorities, and point of view are the basis for trusting relationships between grantseekers and grantmakers.
As the champions of grantmaking practice, grants management staff are positioned to support their organization to tie practices to values and set strategic goals related to improving grantmaking practice.
Board members and senior leaders at grantmaking organizations should provide the space and flexibility for grantmaking staff to lead the way in aligning practices with values.
