The program officer was extremely responsive and let me know immediately that the intended project did not fall under their funding scope. This quick response saved time and resources and also afforded clarity. Reach out immediately before applying!

It is worth submitting a grant, but don't hold your breath. They have a long, opaque process and their Program Officer is responsive, but doesn't seem to be involved in decision-making so her ability to advise is limited.

Cons

Doesn't "get" nonprofits and issues, Risk averse

Find a senior Andersen employee to join your board and advocate for your funding request. Won't be easy; the most senior people are already committed to other boards.

Pros

Builds relationships

They're really serious about that St. Croix Valley thing. Office there, ideally serve only there and be a pillar of those communities, or move on to other opps.

Andersen Corporate Foundation has enormous resources --but they operate with a very narrow, small-town perspective. Grants disbursed reflect this view.

Pros

Friendly, Builds relationships, Likes site visits, "Gets" nonprofits and issues, Responsive
