Grants are an excellent way for emerging philanthropists to contribute to positive development outcomes by supporting implementing organisations, projects and causes that resonate with them. However, for philanthropy to be both effective and fulfilling, a philanthropist or funder has a raft of decisions to make — how much to give and for how long, how to monitor progress, how to assess impact — and the lack of credible publicly-available information is often a roadblock for decision-making by funders.
