Grants List

To ensure that our programs are effective, we have implemented an Impact Framework that reflects our different grantmaking practices and areas of focus. The framework is a way of thinking explicitly about our efforts as a whole. It recognizes that we do several different kinds of grantmaking and that improving the way these grants work together can enhance the measurable progress we make toward our overall mission. The framework groups most of our grantmaking into four clusters we call Portfolios—Targeted, Human Capital, Vulnerable Populations and Pioneer. These portfolios represent our commitment to stick with a set of issues over time.
