Making grants that make a difference requires a good understanding of the problems you're trying to fix, the methods that others have tried and how they've fared, and the capabilities of the organization proposing a program.
We think that experience in the field is also essential. The Trust's staff all have worked for nonprofits in the areas in which they now make grants. This helps them appreciate the complexities of designing projects, translating them into compelling proposals, and competing for the limited amount of money that's available.
We are committed to sticking with significant issues that may not lend themselves to quick or easy solutions, while remaining open to projects that tackle emerging problems and organizations that may be new to us.
