Grants Coffee Talk: Non-monetary Grantmaking and Assistance

Non-monetary grantmaking traditionally includes in-kind grants of land, equipment, or free space. However, in recent years, an emphasis has been put on providing assistance intended to build a nonprofit’s internal capacity. Grants of succession planning, executive coaching, and program evaluation are just a few examples. Listen to your peers share experiences in the what, why, and how of non-monetary grantmaking.

During this Coffee Talk, we share our experiences and learn from each other as audience members answer the following questions:

  • How did your organization decide to provide non-monetary assistance? What shaped the conversation?
  • What is your organization’s process for making and tracking non-monetary grants? Is it similar to that of a monetary award?
  • What have been the challenges and results of this type of grantmaking?
