Unrestricted Awards to Remarkable Individuals: A Grantmaking Tool That Prioritizes The Grantee

Join us for a conversation with a foundation that prioritizes grantees over itself. Come to this webinar to learn about how a foundation can issue grant awards to individuals and celebrate the accomplishments of artists, scientists and others all while meeting the foundation’s disbursement obligations. Foundation Source’s Head of Philanthropic Advisory Services Elizabeth Wong will be joined by Miriam Billinger, Operations Director of the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation, for a candid conversation on ways the foundation has connected purpose with practice—and why its goal is to shine the spotlight on its individual awardees and grantee partners rather than itself.

Key takeaways from this discussion include:

• How awards to individuals for unique, innovative, inspirational and groundbreaking achievements can be a powerful grantmaking tool.
• How a foundation distributes financial resources directly to scientists, teachers, conservationists and creators whose diverse perspectives enable us to discover new things about ourselves and our world.
• How a foundation that wants to stay lean and not reinvent the wheel can infuse its operations with processes that demonstrate respect for its partners including tools and best practices for funding with a light footprint.
