📢 Seed, Grow & Sustain 3.0 is OPEN!

This grant prioritises organising and leadership located in the Larger Majority World. This definition encompasses both geography and politics, addressing historic resource disparities, exploitation, and colonialism that leave groups outside the Global North (Western Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand) significantly under-resourced.

It seems like @forgefed's grant funding ran out and the entire project has just been left hanging, unfinished. This is a potentially important project, so this is really frustrating.

But really, anything important enough to get grant funding probably ought to keep going after the grant funding ends. Maybe grant-making orgs could provide some kind of support for projects transitioning out of funded work sprints, back into volunteer-driven coordination?

White House #fires much of the National Council on the Humanities [aka #NEH]

The White House appeared to fire all but four members of the National Council on the #Humanities, an advisory board to the head of the #government’s #grantmaking agency.

#NSF held captive
#WhiteHouse ordered $9B agency to abandon long-running programs, terminate over 2000 grants, and reverse decisions on what to fund next based on admin’s political agenda, which excludes #DEI and #climatechange #research. NSF is also making radical changes to daily operations, including sharply reducing reliance on top academic scientists on loan from institutions and realigning the agency’s entire #grantmaking apparatus to conform to Trump’s priorities

#FEMA Aims to Help Underserved Communities Prep for #Climate Havoc
The agency had been criticized for its daunting #grantmaking process. FEMA is rolling out climate adaptation loans for small and overlooked communities
The federal disaster relief agency has taken heat for steering past resilience funds to whiter, wealthier areas. https://grist.org/equity/fema-storm-loan-program-adaptation-resilience-mitigation/ #climatechange #climatecrisis

Can anyone point me to good examples of grantmaking processes that are non-competitive? Ones grounded in providing technical assistance and building capacity to make use of funds that are then awarded for a project or program. Especially helpful if it's transportation grants but could be any realm. #grants #grantmaking #transportation

Granting over $100 million per year, Ontario Trillium Foundation is a key player in Canada’s non-profit landscape.

This year marks their 40th anniversary. Kaitlyn Simpson examines the influence of OTF, speaking first to Katharine Bambrick, Blaire Dimock, and Robin Cordozo.

Next, @PhilanthropistJournal will examine OTF’s impact on Ontario grassroots organizations, foundations, and the non-profit sector at large.

One of the most monumental shifts in the past 5 years in #philanthropy & #giving has been MacKenzie Scott's approach to #grantmaking

But for all the yay-sayers and nay-sayers, what does the practical experience & early #evidence suggest about this model of #grantmaking ? 🧵 👇
