Grants in a COVID-19 World – Learning to Pivot

I love watching Project Runway, and have since the show began over 15 years ago. I enjoy watching how the designers make amazing creations in just one to two days’ time. It almost seems unreal and is definitely a skill that I don’t have. The season 4 winner, Christian Siriano, was always a fan favorite, […]

The World According to Grants – February 2020

Guest blog post by Tara Chowdhury, RBW Strategy team member What’s the big idea? Social media enables rapid sharing of information, ideas, and interests across the globe. Having the world at our fingertips has empowered social justice campaigns like the #MeToo movement. There is also a dark side to social networking, with harassers lurking in […]

The World According to Grants – December 2019

What’s the big idea? During the holiday season, we all take some time to reflect on our lives and think about how we can give back to others, be more charitable and think about New Year’s resolutions in the coming year. Recently I was listening to a Tiny Spark podcast and there was an episode about global […]

The World According to Grants – October 2019

What’s the big idea? We have all seen the news – children in cages, families split up the border, and funding earmarked towards building a wall between the Mexican and United States border. The problems are massive, and only appear to be getting worse. While we may not be able to change policies at this […]

The World According to Grants – August 2019

What’s the big idea? Happy summer everyone! While people might be taking some time off (hopefully) and perhaps taking advantage of some flex time, perhaps it allows for some time to reflect and learn. Instead of focusing on a big and important topic, I wanted to do a round up of some of my favorite […]

The World According to Grants – June 2019

What’s the big idea? Ever since big names like Harvey Weinstein, Roger Ailes, Charlie Rose, Larry Nassar and other high-profile celebrities, politicians and newsmakers made headlines for sexual assault and harassment, women all over the world have responded to the #MeToo rallying cry. This cause was most pronounced in the Supreme Court Justice nomination of […]

The World According to Grants – April 2019

What’s the big idea? While most of us are aware of the fact that there are inequities across the country, it is most fervently felt in the area of housing. Major cities across the United States showcases this divide, especially as mortgage rates, rental prices and interest rates rise, but there is limited housing to […]

The World According to Grants – March 2019

What’s the big idea? Unless you weren’t watching the news the past few months, you were probably very aware that a Federal government partial shutdown took place earlier this year. While this impacted more people than others, as someone living in the Washington, DC area this actually felt personal. While we won’t go into the […]

The World According to Grants!

 I am venturing into a new format for my blog posts to not just talk about grants, but about what’s happening in the world. Every few weeks we will be digging into a big issue and talking about how it relates to nonprofits, government agencies, and the philanthropic sector. The first post focuses on racial inequities […]
