    The Insider's Guide to Grantmaking

     
    A guide for new program officers and experienced grantmakers
    1/22/2001
    Written primarily for program officers, this book offers an "inside view" of foundations, covering the skills required by those new to the field of grantmaking. Orosz, senior program director in the Philanthropy and Volunteerism initiative of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, focuses on U.S institutions and private foundations. He offers background on the history, structure, and function that foundations play in our society and outlines the basic principles and practices needed for this profession. He also provides advice on the many tasks involved in grantmaking, from meeting with applicants to reviewing proposals to assisting funded projects and managing foundation initiatives. Later chapters provide more practical advice on the daily responsibilities of program officers and how to develop the skills required for ethical grantmaking. The veteran in this profession will also benefit; Orosz provides a context to consider past successes in the complex role of program officer.
