Research & Publications from Grassroots Grantmakers
Grassroots Grantmakers strengthens and connects funders who strengthen and connect residents where they live.
We do this by linking funders with the peers, information, tools and assistance that they need to build grassroots grantmaking programs that work and to position their next phase of work for success. We also conduct research and sponsor learning activities that build our base of knowledge about effective grassroots grantmaking programs.
This page includes publications from research that we have conducted and information on our current research agenda.
