GEOList Summary: Approval Authorities

  • Rumsha Ahmed, March 22, 2017

The Northwest Area Foundation is interested in your experiences regarding levels of approval authority at your respective foundations. We would greatly appreciate your feedback on the following: - What are your levels of grant approval authority - both the group/individual, and how much they can approve? - Do you have a cap on the total grant dollars any of the above groups can approve in a time period? If so, what is it? - What is your total grantmaking (in dollars) for an average year? - If you use a program committee, what do they do outside of approving grants? - Do you or have you ever used a strategy concept, whereby the program committee (or board) approves a strategy, and then numerous grants are approved as part of the strategy at lower levels of approval authority?
