How would you rate this funder's accessibility?

Good

How successfully do you think this funder is accomplishing its current philanthropic goals?

Average

The foundation should encourage nonprofits to come up with new ways of teaching/learning about entrepreneurship. It seems pretty stuck on a formula and not open to new ideas.

If you had one piece of advice to give to this funder (about grantmaking or anything else), what would it be?

Understand that grantees sometimes have to adapt their entrepreneur programs to fit their organization -- in other words, what works in one institution might not work in another. Organizations that want to introduce entrepreneurship programs may need help envisioning ways to adapt to their culture.

Is there anything else that'd be useful for others to know to understand this funder?

While we liked this foundation a lot, not sure they liked us. It has been a struggle to fit into their model.
