The Funding Stakeholder  Expect the greatest impact possible for the size of the grant How many participants are involved? How long will the effect last? How well can the recipient leverage our grant?  Grants are strategic not charitable

The Funding Stakeholder  What evidence is there that the grant has been used effectively – measurable outcomes  What are the costs and benefits of repeat funding vs. spreading the funds as broadly as possible  Who are our best “partners”, helping us accomplish our goals

The Funding Stakeholder  Do we “enable” favored institutions to continue being “sick” places for all women and non-white males?  Has the recipient institution done its job, prioritizing its needs based on rigorous self-study
