Graceful Exits: How Foundations Can Offer Strong Support As Grants End
Graceful Exits: How Foundations Can Offer Strong Support As Grants End
Grant makers shift giving priorities with relative frequency. When a foundation stops supporting certain causes, nonprofits that relied on that support can face new challenges.
How can foundation leaders stop supporting programs — or exit grant making entirely — in ways that ensure grantees and partners can continue the work long after the grants end?
Join the Chronicle of Philanthropy and The Nicholson Foundation to learn how to plan an exit that allows nonprofits and collaborations to live on. The foundation is on track to conclude all grants and close its doors by December 2021.
Board president Jan Nicholson and executive director Kim Boller will share their experiences and explain how to:
- Prepare grantees and partner organizations to keep the work going
- Manage the exit process and communicate plans to grantees, staff, and partners
- Create a positive culture to support and retain employees
