What kind of project is the Meyer Trust most interested in funding with Grassroots Grants?
A quick look at the list of past Grassroots Grants on this website reveals that the projects funded under this program are highly varied and impossible to precisely define. The Trust wants to be open to ideas grantseekers generate themselves rather than limiting their approaches by prescribing priorities. In general, however, projects are viewed more favorably when: • the project is important for the organization and those it serves, • the project has a demonstrable outcome that helps the organization meet its goals, • the effect of the project lasts beyond the period during which grant funds are expended, • the organization has figured out a way to sustain funding for the project after grant funds are expended (if necessary), and • the project is not part of the organization’s ongoing activities that will not change in any significant way.
