Besides your request for proposals, do you do any active grantmaking? How much? If so, how do either of the two ways bring you good opportunities?
Yeah, we definitely do other things on active grantmaking than just our RFP. Other things we do include:
Having calls with potential applicants
Encouraging some applicants to apply
Encourage some applicants to apply for more funding
If someone applies for something we don’t find as promising, we think of whether there are ways to get them above our bar for funding
Help initiate some projects
I think historically most of our success in active grantmaking hasn’t come through our RFP and I think I would expect it to stay that way.
