Good
This foundation does a great job of addressing each of its strategic pillars through investments in direct service organizations and those working toward broader systems change. They fund organizations of varying sizes and scope, as well.
Consider providing a general operating support grant.
The Christopher Family Foundation is a small but sophisticated family foundation with a passionate team and clear vision, focused on supporting work primarily in Chicago and midwest. They are big supporters of collaborative efforts.
The staff at CFF are great listeners. For example, they seek out feedback from their grantees about what indicators of success they should be considering, rather than imposing their own metrics. They work with the organization to identify a program or project that might be a best fit if the organization isn't sure.
