Program staff strategically use a cluster approach to funding. Grantees are often part of a network or collaboration of organizations that work effectively together. The Foundation rarely funds organizations that are working in isolation and/or are unaware of available partners or strategic alliances that might result in change at a larger scale. The Foundation supports horizontal networking and periodical convenings of grantees with similar interests. During the docket process numerous other criteria are applied by program staff to meet Grantmaking priorities. |
