Grant Applicant - applied in 2016
Fairly hands off funder, but very cumbersome and repetitive reporting process.

Often had multiple important emails and calls from us go unanswered by the funder.
Be more responsive to grantees, streamline your reporting - ask yourself, "Am I asking the same question in multiple ways on this report?." Also, 10% indirect cap is ridiculous. Indirect spending isn't "waste," it's critical things that every organization needs to run well.

Grant Applicant - applied in 2015
Cultivating a relationship with the President or senior-level staff is essential to receiving an invitation to apply for funding from JPB. The process is long and the application is complex, making this foundation relatively inaccessible for less sophisticated/under-resourced organizations, despite the fact that the foundation claims to focus on social equity. There is a multi-step process here involving submitting a relatively short concept paper, then an extraordinarily complex full proposal that includes detailed financial and evaluation plans. Funding levels are high - six figures plus. There is a lot of back-and-forth with program staff to ensure proposals will be attractive to the president and board. The Foundation is not particularly sensitive to the time and resources of their nonprofit grantees, frequently cancelling meetings at the last minute (even in person meetings in NYC that require travel on the part of grantees) and not showing up themselves when arrangements have been made to host them.

New York is a great city - but it does not hold all of the answers to problems faced by other parts of the country. Be open to innovations happening elsewhere.
