Grantmaking Debrief Survey

The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC) has made several changes this year to the grantmaking process to ensure that it is more equitable, objective, streamlined and consistent for organizations applying and committee members reviewing applications. Thank you so much for being patient as we work through these changes and identify areas of improvement.

These changes include switching to Foundant’s Grant Lifecycle Management System (GLM) and implementing a scoring rubric for all grantmaking committees.

TFEC would like to get your feedback as it relates to these changes and the ease of use/helpfulness and ensuring an objective review process. The deadline for survey submission is November 30th.
