You talk about your grantees as “partners.” But in the face of the obvious power differential, how can you authentically engage grantees in order to achieve your mutual goals? Could you… 

• Solicit grantee feedback on your grantmaking practices?
• Incorporate grantee and community input when setting grantmaking priorities?
• Delegate funding decisions to community representatives?
• Build staff and trustee boards that reflect the communities you support?

Sounds good in theory. But what is most appropriate for your organization? And how can you best go about it?

Attend this two-day GEO skill-building intensive to learn how to make your grantmaking and change efforts more effective by increasing the involvement of those most affected by it. Read more...
