A Call to Action: Organizing to Increase the Effectiveness and Impact of Foundation Grantmaking

NCRP’s newest report A Call to Action voices the concerns of nonprofits regarding the lack of available core operating grants and how this undermines their ability to fulfill their missions. It advocates for an increase in foundations’ core operating support giving and encourages nonprofits and their allies from philanthropic institutions to mobilize and develop a strategy to build a more responsive and effective grantmaking culture.

Do you agree or disagree with the report? Should foundations give more funding towards covering the cost of nonprofits’ general operations? If so, how do you think should we go about developing a strategy and mobilize for change? If you don’t agree with the report, why not?
