My experience has been very positive. The people from Allegany Franciscan Ministries that I have worked with have been very accessible and very supportive.
Good
At least for 2018, which is when we were funded it was a huge help for us. The funding that Allegany Franciscan Ministries provided was key to getting one of our pilots started, which today continues to run and grow. They also funded a statewide campaign that was just starting out, and they saw the potential and supported it.
Maybe, depending on where they are located, we would love more site visits to get more face to face time with them, but we understand that's not always possible because of distance and time.
When I call them they always answer.

To be honest throughout the application and funding process. Open and honest dialogue. Example, if anything needs to be changed including spending budget or outcomes, they are excellent to work with as long as you have that open and honest dialogue.

This agency has a strong partnership with the Allegany Franciscan Ministries and the staff is exceptional.
Not really, they do an exceptional job and love that they communicate so honestly.
Community and placed-based work. Assessing the needs of the communities they are working in, while staying within their focus areas. They are reliable in how they fund.

Reviewer 8840 - Grant Applicant - applied in 2014
I refer colleagues all the time as I inform them the Allegany Franciscan Ministries organization and staff are reliable, reputable, and respectable, and totally stand behind their mission. I also tell them (my colleagues), if they have no intention of fulfilling the requirements of the grant they apply for, then don't apply.

For your Capacity Building grant opportunities; please don't disregard the smaller organizations whom are doing the most, with minimum to zero capacity. These organizations get denied often due to lack of capacity, however if never provided the opportunity (by being awarded such grants), they don't stand a chance at building capacity, or sustainability of their organizations.
No
Open communication-transparency. Provide excellent resources and opportunities.

This funder is being successful in funding programs to better the overall health and wellness of our communities.
Continue to involve the community in assisting in identification of barriers to service and various needs to fill the gaps.
They are one of the easiest funders to work with. Just need to be honest with them if outcomes need to be changed and/or you need to extend the project deadline.
Engage the community and works well with other funders.

I think fewer candidates should make it to the final round because it’s A LOT of effort and resources out into grant writing for small chance of being funded.

Very. But my view on the whole funding structure for non profits is that foundations should select organizations that align with their mission and produce quality outcomes and find them until they dints. Having to apply in a bidorcared system does not foster strength in an organization.
Good
Again, it would be better to direct efforts in building the capacity of those who do what you want to meet ever ending needs and affect more impact on a societal level than to spread money around to many organizations. The partnership among us would be much stronger and changes of approaches could be accommodated in real time.
Visit us...frequently. You will understand the overwhelming needs and challenges associated with meeting them on limited budgets. The people that work in non profits tend to be compassionate and often go underpaid and overworked. Funders always seem to want more for less, never taking into account the rising costs of health insurance, equipment and cost of living for dedicated staff. Funding programs for the same amount each year does not take these contextual issues into account.
Truly grateful this funder exists.
Funded once and denied another time.
Stick to their values. This is the most beautiful thing about this funder. They genuinely care about the original mission.

Thank you - we really appreciate your comment and are always trying to get the right balance.
