Grants and volatility with Shoshana Grossman-Crist

Shoshana Grossman-Crist is the Founder and CEO of Social Impact Compass, providing support in grants and other support for impact missions. Shoshana joins host Steve Boland to talk about the impact of changes in funding streams in 2025.

Shoshanna shares her insights getting a foot in the door for new support during these transitional times, including a short email, and a concept note format in lieu of a more formal case statement. Some funders are increasing their giving commitment (Shoshana mentions MacArthur Foundation as an example) and others are considering more flexibility right now. Shoshana mentions many resources on her website and elsewhere, but wanted to be sure the Foreign Aid Bridge fund was included in the show notes!
