A Closer Look

This new series digs deeper for practical wisdom on big issues addressed in our guides.
In each edition, we ask a virtual roundtable of seasoned grant makers to explore a specific topic and describe how it applies in their own work and inside their foundations. The conversation supplements the guide that inspired it, offering smart approaches and new perspectives that relate directly to grant-making practice.

If you'd like a closer look at a topic raised by one of our guides, please let us know.  We'd love to hear from you.
