Swoon! As much of the country suffers through a heat wave, we are woozy with excitement about the ROBERT STERLING CLARK FOUNDATION, INC. 🏆 Do they have character limits? Do they have hidden questions? Do they require too much work for too small a grant? Do they even have an application? They do not. 😮 The fine folks at the Foundation ask only that you submit *any* application you’ve already written, along with existing financial documents. In their words:  “Our approach reflects our desire for your organization to keep the focus on your work…. We consider it our responsibility to learn more about your organization and the possible alignment of our interests. This approach is rooted in a philosophy of trust-based philanthropy.” 🥰 🎤 Funders, take note. Over here at CFP, we see this as a great example of valuing your grantees’ time, resources, and sanity! 👍👍 If you’d like to submit your own shout-out for an Awesome Funding Practice, we love to share them! 

Hear that? Every funder should follow us.
