Impact/Grantmaking

High impact grantmaking starts with identifying the 501(c)(3) public charities and governmental entities (like cities, villages and school districts) that are committed to creating positive change in your place. Below are some examples of applications that will empower your fund to do exactly that.

If you have questions on high impact grantmaking or other types of applications your fund might need, contact your Affiliated Fund Development Coordinator.
