How We Fund
We believe that solving complex issues requires partnership and collaboration. We rely on the experience and knowledge of stakeholders, as well as the dedicated leaders and experts on the ground, to identify critical needs and best practices. We are always learning and using data to inform our grantmaking; we encourage the same of our grantees. We believe our funding can facilitate lasting change by leveraging available public resources and generating creative ideas for addressing complex challenges.
Our grantmaking is by invitation only. The Taft Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests.
