We greatly value local grantmaking as a development tool: local grantmakers tend to be familiar with the local context and, by making small grants to community-based groups and organizations which are normally out of the sights of larger institutional donors, they allow funding to get much closer to the ground and to the people who best know how to address their needs. However, community philanthropy development is not only about grantmaking: it is also about tapping and accumulating local resources to address social and economic needs and to support community development. Enquiries from this type of organization will be treated on a case-by-case basis, but any application should demonstrate that some thought has been given to local resource mobilization for grantmaking.
