Relationship building with funders
By now you’ve likely heard that Rasmuson Foundation, like many funders, has significantly reduced its grantmaking for 2009 in light of the recent economic conditions. As announced by President Diane Kaplan, there may be no new Tier 2 awards (over $25,000 strategic and capital requests) made this year and the average size of a Tier 1 award ($25,000 or under capital requests) will be approximately $15,000.
