Here is a list that we (Foundant) has curated over the years. You'll definitely want to review it to make sure it contains all the specific majors your criteria calls out, but this is a good starting point! Dana Berggren Functional Consultant, Client Delivery

Last week, the option of paying students instead of schools as a way around award displacement was brought up. I'm tagging some clients that pay students, even if it's only for specific programs/situations: Candice Krell @CandaceKrell , Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation Malissa Ayala @MalissaAyala , Community Foundation of…

Rebecca, I tagged you on another thread that has many suggestions about how to handle the recent changes and delays. Dana

@RebeccaHardenJones There are several recommendations here!

Hi Courtney, When I managed scholarships at a community foundation, scholarships for special populations like this were tough to market. These activities often fell to the bottom of my to do list, but here's what I did when I had time, and what I've seen from other foundations I've worked with in my time at Foundant:…

Missy, Better late than never! Speaking as a member of Foundant's delivery team, I've seen several other foundations use this approach for various reasons.

@loritrenholm, this thread may be helpful to your question about room and board!

They also have some really good examples of common ways that individuals with disabilities are referred to, and how…

It was more work to keep…

I stumbled across this article from UNICEF this morning, and thought of this thread. While it has an international and governmental focus, I think there are some great ideas on actions that grantmakers can support during this pandemic.…

Celeste, I'm looking forward to being able to visit you in McPherson on one of our many trips my family makes to Kansas each year...once things get back (or close) to normal, of course!

Hi @PaulaMiller , Regarding your Paycheck Protection Act question...there is a webinar today that might give you some more info. I found out about this through the Iowa Council on Foundations. I haven't vetted the source so can't endorse it, but thought I'd share it with you. They'll likely record the webinar, so if you…
