We are looking for strong partners whose core work aligns with our grantmaking priorities. These five bullet points* are a good framework to review your work and see if applying for a grant from EBCF is a good option for your organization. At EBCF, we are looking for nonprofits that…
- Base their programs on research about what works.
- Actively collect information about the results of their programs.
- Systematically analyze this information.
- Adjust their activities in response to new information.
- Operate with an absolute focus on producing results.
