Unclear about the impact your community grants are making?
Banks, credit unions, local business associations, and corporate CSR teams often face significant challenges when it comes to charitable giving. Whether it’s limited staff capacity, lack of dedicated project leadership, or simply being overwhelmed by the process of identifying, vetting, and supporting the right nonprofit partners – deciding who to support, when to give, and how to make a meaningful financial impact can feel like an uphill climb.
And, let’s face it: most charitable grants are purely transactional. A company selects a nonprofit, awards a grant, and fulfills its CSR commitment. The nonprofit receives the funds it needs, and the process is complete. While this model meets basic goals on both sides, the relationship often ends there.
What if your funding could do more (without any extra effort)?
What if, instead of a one-time transaction, your grant also empowered nonprofit leaders with tailored, hands-on leadership development. Training that is designed to spark board engagement, strengthen organizational capacity, and create lasting impact?
