What makes for effective grantmaking in entrepreneurship, supportive cancer care, and disability services? Coleman Foundation shares key insights and lessons learned.
The Coleman Foundation Launches COVID-19 Matching Grants Program
In an effort to support its grantees during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Coleman Foundation has invited 80 organizations to participate in its COVID-19 Matching Grant Program. Through the Program, organizations, which span the Foundation’s program areas, may earn a grant award of up to $25,000 as a match to donations from private individuals received between April 15 and June 1, 2020. To ensure that grantees employ campaign strategies that work best for activating their own donors, the Foundation is not setting additional parameters that limit how grantees use this match opportunity.
