We found in our study of general operating support grantmaking that foundation staff are more supportive of GOS than trustees. Our report also provides useful rationale from focus groups for providing GOS and for viewing it as a strategic way of making grants. <BR/>We have heard that at least two foundations included the report in the packets for their board and used it to argue for a policy shift towards more GOS grantmaking. This clearly illustrates the inside strategy. The reality is that foundations are full of people wanting to do the right thing, and they just need the ammunition to argue their case.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16990792850470133704noreply@blogger.com
