Future Leaders in Philanthropy: Prove Yourself Beyond all Obstacles: Grantmaking

Future Leaders in Philanthropy: Prove Yourself Beyond all Obstacles: Grantmaking: "Prove Yourself Beyond all Obstacles: Grantmaking

For many of us, it might not have been so long ago that we wrote that first big check, when the excitement of our first apartment was slightly tarnished by the reality of first-month-plus-security-deposit, prompting a tremble as we signed away a large portion of our new income. Now, the young grantmakers among us may be asked to give input into grants far larger, perhaps more than we’ve yet earned since that day. It can feel incongruous to have that kind of influence in our work lives, when the stakes are so much higher than in the financial decisions we make in our everyday lives."
