This is a great column on extending the thinking on philanthropy past a program grant or even just capacity building! Many of the foundations that work with public markets already do that, if you’re savvy enough to have the conversation with them. And it is also true that most of the markets I know miss the opportunity to leverage more money when they do get a grant by asking your grant officer if they have any ideas about other funders they might know who might also want to support the project.
