Bridging the Gap: Grantee Perspectives on Intermediary Funders

As use of and support for intermediary organizations – a term which refers to many kinds of entities that regrant philanthropic dollars – has grown in recent years, a new CEP report reveals that grantee experiences with intermediaries are not very different from their experiences with “originating” funders.

In this webinar, members of CEP’s research team will present data from this first-of-its-kind study of grantee perspectives on intermediaries before joining a conversation about the strengths and opportunities of these organizations. Moderated by Stephanie Beasley of The Chronicle of Philanthropy, we’ll hear perspectives from both sides of the intermediary-grantee funding relationship and invite open conversation about the possibilities and limitations of funding through intermediaries.

Panelists:

Elisha Smith Arrillaga, Ph.D., Vice President, Research, CEP
Emily Yang, Senior Analyst, Research, CEP
Pam Foster, Chief Operating Officer, Co-Impact
Jess Gutfreund, Chief Implementation Officer, Birth Center Equity
Monique Miles, Vice President, Aspen Institute
