Funder Collaboratives at The Trust

To make a bigger impact on complex problems, we bring grantmakers together to pool knowledge and resources. These funder collaboratives are listed below.

These funder groups periodically issue requests for proposals. Sometimes the RFP is closed, i.e., the RFP is mailed to a selected list of nonprofits who may respond, and others are posted for a general response.
