Steward Responsively Collection

For funders, stewardship is synonymous with supervision. For nonprofits, stewardship is centered on nurturing relationships to support the organization’s mission and the community. This imbalance needs to be addressed, and grants professionals can take the lead in realizing this paradigm shift across the sector and to implement adaptive practices that are rooted in equity and centered on nonprofit needs.

This collection of resources will support you to put our Steward Responsively Principle into practice. The action planner and four how-to guides—exclusive to Organization and Consultant Members—delve into the key action steps, guiding questions, and additional resources that will enable you to answer the call to reframe risk and to recalibrate their vetting process to make it more transparent, more trust-based, more nonprofit-and community-centered, and less burdensome.
