About

The third episode of Nonprofit Radio Month at Foundation Center features Tony Martignetti in Conversation with Foundation Center’s most popular fundraising expert, Senior Social Sector Librarian Susan Shiroma, alongside Stuart Post, Executive Director of the Meringoff Family Foundation, and a Meringoff Foundation grantee, Read Alliance’s Executive Director Danielle Guindo.

Family foundations can be an outstanding resource for organizations, both as a funder and as a partner. However, it’s not uncommon for nonprofits to run up against the phrase “contributes only to pre-selected organizations” in their research. How do charities successfully navigate around roadblocks like these, and get on the radar of family foundations? In this conversation, discover philanthropy from the viewpoint of funders themselves. Gain a new understanding of what foundations are looking for in the nonprofits they work with, and what it truly means to build and steward a meaningful relationship with a funder. The guests will offer insights on the inner workings of the application process, and what happens after the grant is awarded, as a foundation and its nonprofit grantee work together over time to generate social change.

Join us at 1-2 pm ET on Fridays in September for all 4 episodes in Nonprofit Radio Month at Foundation Center:
