What do funders do in addition to making grants?
Representatives within the Flint Funders Collaborative work continuously to assure that the content and service delivery provided by BEST adheres to a high performance standard. Funders review the budget and make financial adjustments where needed to improve the program. They monitor staff and stay on top of the processes within each assessment and capacity building phase. They contribute both directly and indirectly to the technical assistance provided to organizations by assuring that nonprofits get the trainings and workshops they need. Representatives also participate actively in peer learning sessions with agencies, consultants and contract staff.
