How collaboratives can advance impact at scale

Donor collaboratives have incredible potential to propel greater giving around the world and direct it to the causes and communities that need it most. But in order to measure and understand collaboratives’ impact, considering the perspective of grantees themselves is critical.

In partnership with the Gates Foundation and the Ford Foundation, the Center for Effective Philanthropy has published new research on grantee feedback related to their work with collaborative funds and other intermediaries. The report found that grantees value open and frequent communication, trusting relationships, and the flexibility of long-term partnerships, among other insights. These findings can help any intermediary understand how to better partner with and advance the important work of their grantees.
