Excellent applicant support. Sorely needed capacity building funding is most welcome as is support for organizations led by people of color in low-income communities. Kudos NMEF!
Support for applicants. They afford great flexibility in the grant application to minimize the amount of information you have to create from scratch. They welcome alternative formats such as videos, art and other presentations that demonstrate your work.

Use the calendly timeblocks to ask questions - the calls were really helpful.
The initial webinar is not worth the 90 mins; it's a readthrough of the RFP.

NMEF provides great information about their focus and details regarding their RFP. They are focused on impact in the NE Region, however they are open to supporting national organizations who meet their requirement around being community-focused. Additionally, they are cognizant of how to make the applications process easy for organizations and specifically mention to repurpose existing content recent grant proposals as it makes sense.

They have clear areas of focus and awareness around the power and privilege they hold as a funder, which demonstrates how they are acting out their values.

Thoroughly read through the funder's steps to apply. This process was easy to understand. You can tell Nellie Mae has listened to grantees to streamline the process of applying for funds.

this foundation wants to remove barriers and works towards racial equity
I thing one thing would be to support more small organizations with more General operation grant oportunities

It was helpful to work on the application elements separate from the online portal. Then I just had to copy & paste or upload. Give yourself enough time to gather supporting materials that could support strengthening your application.

I did not reach out prior to, as I onboarded into my role and learned about this grant at the same time, so the timeline was quick for me. I didn't get a chance to balance it with learning about my organization and financial need.

They made the application process easy compared to most funders. They were less proscriptive around page limits and format. They invited you to submit videos, photos, links anything that would show them what you do. They also encouraged you no to create content if you had stuff you could reuse for their application.Nice!
