Grantmakers and Collaboration

The Grantmakers and the New Normal Affinity Group was formally know as the Grantmakers and the Economy Affinity Group and began convening in the spring on 2009 in the wake of the economic downturn. In 2012 the group will focus on grantmaker collaborations in the St. Louis community and ways to get other funders engaged in working together. (Open to Full Members and Nonmember Grantmakers)

Resources

Measuring the Work of Intermediaries in the St. Louis Region 2012
A new report released by the Gateway Center for Giving in April 2012 encouraging funders and intermediaries to think about intermediary nonprofit organizations and their outcomes differently as well as explain how these two groups can partner successfully to create change. The Center worked over the course of eight months with its funding partners, a steering committee, and a group of key stakeholders to develop this guide and engaged in conversations with over 35 individuals from funding and intermediary organizations in an attempt to understand how these two groups can better communicate with one another and understand each other’s needs. Also see the associated report Appendix that includes additional resources for grantmakers and intermediaries.
Understanding the Intermediary Infrastructure in St. Louis: Who they are, What they do, and Common misconceptions- April 2011
