Introduction
Hey everyone! My name is Cooper Bond and I just started as an intern here at Foundant. I became interested in working for Foundant after a good friend of mine recommended I apply. I am originally from Portland, Oregon, but I moved to Montana 3 years ago to get my undergraduate degree in Business Management. I am currently a junior living in Bozeman and I enjoy playing soccer and skiing. I look forward to working with you all!
Re: Scholarship Agreement
We too are new to SLM this year. I totally found this in the internet and adopted it for our scholarship agreement. The universal part they will fill out once, and then each scholarship has an agreement portion.
Re: DAF grants to nonprofits where advisors sit on the board?
Great questions, Tom! We don't currently have such policies, but it's interesting to consider. Looking forward to reading others' responses.
Re: Video Applications
Hi Katie,
We're experimenting with doing this as an addition to the application on a case-by-case basis, focusing on very new organizations. We're doing them as interviews, so that the interviewer (me) can guide the interviewee(s) and make sure that we're getting the information we're looking for (not that we're feeding them answers, but that very new organizations sometimes don't entirely "get" the question, so we have to ask it a few different ways to get the information we need, eg. how stakeholders are involved in their work). I certainly don't have it all worked it, but I'd love to compare notes on what worked and what didn't!
