for Project Streamline
The Grants Managers Network is an affinity group of professional foundation staff working in grants administration. Its "Project Streamline" project, which we supported in 2009, has made great strides in reducing the opaque, often redundant barriers grantseekers face in the foundation sector’s application process. In the project’s final phase, Grants Managers Network will expand the resources, tools, and best practices available to funders and grantseekers and commission an assessment of the project’s impact thus far.
