bi3 is committed to trust-based philanthropy by partnering in the spirit of service, shifting power dynamics, and building mutually accountable relationships. We strive to work alongside nonprofits to meet the needs and dreams of communities.
In the words of Maya Angelou, “When you know better, do better.”
At bi3, we want to do better by our funded partners. That’s why we worked with the Center for Effective Philanthropy to conduct a Grantee Perception Survey to help us identify our strengths and opportunities for improvement.
We’re encouraged by what we heard: Grantee partners appreciate our relationships, transparent communications, deep understanding of their work, and bi3’s effect on public policy. We also identified opportunities to build on current practices for greater impact, including more support beyond the check and continuing to streamline grantmaking processes.
We invite you to dive into the results with us.
