Grantmaking 101: A Donor Workshop

In May 2008, an interactive gathering was held to help answer questions most frequently asked by donor advisors including: How do I know my philanthropic dollars are being put to good use? Is it bettter to spread out my giving among many worthy organizations or to give larger grants to fewer organizations? There are so many organizations doing the same type of good work. How do I choose which one is best? How can I tell if an organization is financially healthy? In the era of Bill Gates-sized gifts, will my donation really make a difference? Watch four excerpts from the Grantmaking 101 workshop below. View all of the video segments at http://www.youtube.com/vibrantvideo. See the sidebar for more information about this event.
