You’re making grants. Are you making a difference?

GrantCraft began in October 2001 with a small collection of case studies and examples that served as orientation materials for new programs officers at the Ford Foundation. Since then we've talked with hundreds of grantmakers. We've asked them about their experiences and breakthroughs, as well as the core tensions inherent in their work. We interview grantseekers about what they wish grantmakers knew and look for interesting frameworks outside of philanthropy to help everyone understand practice on a deeper level.
