Could you please list some of the past grantees? Which past grants are you the most proud of? And conversely have there been some lessons learned or updates to the methodology?
Sure. :)
Somewhat random sample of past grantees includes:
FIAPO
Essere Animali
Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan
Compassion in World Farming USA
The full list with description regarding the grants are available in our payout reports!
Some specific grants that I have been particularly proud of include early stage grants to:
Crustacean Compassion
Equalia
Rethink Priorities
Wild Animal Initiative
Fish Welfare Initiative
Sinergia Animal
In terms of lessons learned, I would quickly say:
Active grantmaking is important
Take the growth approach to evaluating startup non-profits, not the marginal approach
Double-check grantees understand any restrictions
References are useful in evaluations, although remember to ask for reasons behind references
Don’t spend some minimum amount of time on each grant out of a fairness intuition – instead, just focus on the grants that really matter.
It can be surprisingly difficult to get applications for funding out of some international groups
