Towards more transparent application and assessment processes

Practical ideas for open and trusting grantmakers

Are you a grantmaker interested in making your application and assessment processes more open and trusting? This short briefing highlights four reflections and ideas for action:

  1. Keeping up the momentum
  2. Being more transparent
  3. ‘Being relational’ in the application process
  4. Who decides?

It is based on conversations between 27 foundations who came together in September and October 2021 for our second round of our Open and Trusting Community of Practice meetings.
