A few years ago I was on the board of a startup non-profit. Our programming was going pretty well, but raising money was really hard. We had meetings with a few grant makers, but we didn’t impress them enough to get any money. A grant maker’s job is to give away money, but they need to offer more than that if they want that money to be put to the best use. Grantmakers for Effective Organizations is a Washington, DC based non-profit that is “committed to advancing smarter grantmaking practices that are most critical to bolstering nonprofit success.” They’ve been working towards a non-profit ecosystem with “more grantmakers providing general operating support, an increase in support for nonprofit leadership development as a capacity-building strategy, and more grantmakers seeking input from grantees and community members to shape effective solutions.”
Grantmakers for Effective Organizations was founded in 1997, and they now have more than 450 grant makers in their community sharing knowledge and best practices. The organization works for their members, but you can see what they do by checking out the section on their website about Smarter Grantmaking. If you want to dig deeper, you might want to take a look at their Resource Library. If helping “organizations on the frontlines of solving large scale problems” sounds interesting to you, check out GEO’s Careers page. Right now they’re looking for a Membership Assistant.
