A new report reveals major gaps between nonprofit needs and donor practices.

Although both grantees and grantmakers claim to have the same top priorities
-- more general operating support, more multi-year support and more
supportive and respectful relationships with grantees -- many grantmakers
have yet to adopt these practices. Amid gaps between good intentions and
poor practices, the study, sponsored by Grantmakers for Effective
Organizations, also reports hopeful news; many grantmakers are moving toward
nonprofit-friendly practices, which they attribute, in part, to more staff
and board members with prior nonprofit experience. To learn more, read the
brief study overview at http://actrees.org/files/Research/geo_08dec.pdf

What are leaders of volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs doing to enlist grant makers as partners? Who are the leading foundations in this area? Can we give recognition to those who are ahead of the curve, and thus inspire others to follow their lead?
