Using GLM to Track In-Kind Event Space
Hi Compass Community! Our organization offers local nonprofits the opportunity to utilize a meeting space we have on our property free of charge to them. While we would not be granting out to the organization in the form of a check, we are looking for ways to capture the "grant" value of in-kind services to the nonprofits…

Scholarship Renewal Requirements
Hello! Cross posting with NSPA. We are trying to streamline our scholarship payments. Right now, we're all over the map, and it's quite an administrative burden. I know others have been discussing this, too. As part of streamlining the process, we want to create one standard renewal requirement instead of letting the donor…

Scholarship Cycle fundholder recaps
Hi all! Does anyone have a sample scholarship fundholder recap they can share with me? I've just completed my first year managing a scholarship portfolio and I'm now composing a recap to share with our fundholders.

Follow Up Form / Reporting Dates
When you fund a program, how do you determine the due dates for follow ups? I work for a Community Foundation that makes grants four times a year and requests an interim (6 month) report and a final (12 month) report in follow up forms. We made a grant to a nonprofit in June 2022, so their interim report was due December…

Awarding to non 501(c)3s and verifying
Hi there! I read the other discussion post about awarding to non-501(c)3s but wasn't quite what my team was looking for. We are a pass-through entity that awards federal funds for conservation related projects. As of now, we only do 501(c)(3)s but are looking to expand to other 501(c)s, starting with at least 50(c)(4)s and…
