Over the next two weeks on the Nonprofit Build Up, we are discussing grant making. This week we are focusing on making grants to organizations that are not US public charities. This episode was recorded as an episode from our Fast Build Friday series, a web-series where we quickly build what you know about infrastructure design in the nonprofit sector.    In this episode, you will hear 3 key recommendations that will help funders and these organizations sustain a movement, ideas, and change. We will also provide a link to a previous Fast Build Friday episode about effectively working with intermediary organizations, which may be another way to fund these organizations, in the show notes.
