PARTNER BENEFITS
- Proactive Giving: You have the chance to be directly and personally involved with applicants, and to learn exactly what your pooled dollars will fund.
- Enjoyable work: Perhaps the biggest draw, you meet others with similar interests and learn from one another through your involvement in grant-making activities.
- Tangible Impact: You will strategically leverage your individual contribution and make a tangible difference in advancing solutions to some of the most significant and interconnected challenges facing our region.
- Democratic structure: Each Impact Circle Partner has an equal say in decision-making and collective votes determine the funding recipients.
- Continual Learning: You will have a number of opportunities to continue learning about the topic (brown bag lunches, site visits, etc.) throughout the grant cycle.
- Annual Gathering: At the end of each 12 month Impact Circle grant cycle, Sustainable Path will host a gathering of grantees and partners from all the Impact Circles. This will be an educational opportunity to further learn about the issues, the strategies to find solutions and learn about the work that has been accomplished with the grant funds. You will be invited to share your experience and together we will evaluate the overall Impact Circle process.
