Foundations give grants to organizations. But let’s be real: leadership matters.
So what happens when the leadership at a grantee institution transitions? Change at the top is big and often scary for a grantee. Knowing how and what to support can be confusing for a foundation, especially since it must also protect its mission-based interests by making good bets. But it doesn’t have to be.
Join us for this discussion about how foundations can engage in healthy partnerships with grantees and what this means when their leaders leave. Come hear the perspectives of a grantee and funder who are making this transition together, and learn about trends in how the nonprofit sector overall is experiencing different transition patterns that have implications for your work as funders.
