What does this programme cover?

Foundations, endowments, CSR funds and charity funds distribute large sums every year, yet many still award grants reactively, spread money thinly across unrelated causes and cannot show what their giving has changed. Grant-making without a clear theory of change, selection criteria and portfolio discipline leaves boards unable to judge value and grantees facing unpredictable demands. This Core Concept course equips funder-side staff to set philanthropic focus areas, choose grant-making models, select and fund grantees, and learn from results. Participants produce a Grant-Making Strategy and Grant Cycle Blueprint for a case foundation.
