Project Streamline: Improving Grant Applications & Reporting

PROJECT STREAMLINE:
IMPROVING GRANT APPLICATIONS & REPORTING
Administrative burdens on grantseekers can be overwhelming. The
list of hoops for applicants to jump through varies greatly from one
foundation to the next. So we work collaboratively with a variety
of grantmakers and grantseekers to demystify and simplify the
application process. By doing so, everyone in the partnership can
focus on having an impact — and spend less time fighting red tape.
Project Streamline's framework of tools and publications is created
around four core principles which help you:
-
Start fresh: Take a look at your organization's application and
reporting requirements.
-
Keep expectations in-line: Ensure the effort grantees expend
is proportional to the size of the grant, while also taking into
consideration any pre-existing relationships.
-
Relieve the burden: Minimize the amount of time and money
grantseekers spend getting and administering grants, freeing
everyone up to focus on mutual goals.
-
Improve communication: Make your processes clear and
straightforward.
