Giving Away Money is Harder than it Seems
You’re running a grant program, foundation, or just looking to change the world with a donation. What could be simpler than giving away money? But the deeper you go, the harder it gets:
1
A VIP party short of VIPs
the projects and people you’d want to fund never find you or tell you to write a check rather than jointly working on a collaborative vision for the future
2
Unqualified applicants
instead, you are bombarded with applications from projects and NGOs that have no relations to your objectives or have little chance of succeeding
3
Worse, unqualified recipients
if deadlines and donor pressure lead you to allocate money to whatever candidates you have, shortcomings or outright failures in delivery follow
4
Asks beyond your capacity
and then when you finally get your dream project in the door, it needs 3x or 5x the funds you have available with no path to closing the gap
5
Settling
after a while, you just accept that you can’t get the impact you want and settle for lower profile projects, worse results, more risk. Your enthusiasm wanes as does funding
