Beyond the Check: How Funders Are Building True Grantee Partnerships

GivingData Team — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 16:51:32 GMT

For many foundations, the question of how to support grantees has shifted. Funding alone may not be enough when the organizations you invest in are navigating leadership transitions, operating infrastructure gaps, or in an environment where demand far outpaces capacity.

In this webinar, leading funders with different models and missions share how they are thinking about support beyond the grant, what prompted that shift, what it’s looked like in practice, and where they started.

Speakers:

Amie Anderson, Grants Administrator, Carl B. and Florence E. King Foundation

Kimberly Sluis, Vice President and Chief of Staff, Postsecondary Education, Strada Education Foundation

Carla Gibson, Vice President of Programs, REACH Healthcare Foundation

Grantmaking During Uncertainty: Working alongside grantees to navigate risk

GivingData Team — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 13:53:10 GMT

Foundations are increasingly recognizing the importance of risk management to strengthen grant outcomes — but how can grantmaking systems adapt to support this shift? Join us on July 23 @ 1:00 PM ET for a webinar that explores how the Iowa West Foundation has operationalized risk management and helps grantees navigate unforeseen challenges without derailing project goals.

Learn from Matthew Henkes, Vice President of Grants and Initiatives at Iowa West Foundation, about how the foundation:

Built a risk-aware culture with the board
Developed a practical risk analysis tool
Embedded these risk-aware practices into grant workflows

The session will also highlight how a collaborative partnership with GivingData enabled the foundation to customize the platform, creating a streamlined solution to track contingency allocations and spending alongside traditional grants.

Whether you're just beginning to explore risk management or looking to enhance your foundation's approach, this session offers a model for using grant systems to embrace risk as a strategy, not just a liability.
