As your colleague considers approaching this funder, it's essential for them to thoroughly research and understand the funder's mission, priorities, and guidelines. This will enable them to tailor their approach to align with the funder's interests and demonstrate how their nonprofit's goals and initiatives are in harmony with the funder's objectives. Also, they should prepare a compelling case for support, clearly articulating the impact and outcomes of their nonprofit's work. It's important for my colleague to approach the funder with professionalism, clarity, and a genuine understanding of how their nonprofit can contribute to the funder's mission.

One piece of advice for this funder would be to consider expanding their funding portfolio to include transitional housing, as it aligns with their goal of reducing homelessness.
The overall relationship with the funder has been positive, with clear communication and a genuine interest in supporting impactful projects. To understand this funder better, it would be useful to know their specific geographic focus, funding priorities, and any specific requirements for grant applications.
The funder is moderately successful in accomplishing its current philanthropic goals, but there is room for improvement in certain areas to enhance impact.

The funder's accessibility is commendable, as they provide clear guidelines for funding applications.
One thing that this funder does really well is impact of organizations in various capacity in the world through their philanthropic efforts.

I'm very hands on with what I do, and I think they should be as will. What I mean by that is I wish they could come out and see what it is I do and how much effort it takes
I like the question when they asked, tell use more about your self, I have over 25 years of experience and new articles as well as documentaries I have been dying to share the the world while I'm still living. thanks for asking that question

I would not recommend applying to this funder. They make you do way too much for a small grant, and then won't fund you again after the $1000 they give you. They also won't allow you to get paid for your work so they expect people to have the financial means to volunteer all the time. And they seem to constantly be churning through staff.
Inadvertently exerts negative influence in the field, Doesn't "get" nonprofits and issues, Difficult to work with, Culturally incompetent, Bureaucratic

I think their goals are to fund vegans who have the financial means to volunteer all the time - so maybe they are accomplishing that?
Give more money, give renewal grants, treat your staff better, fund projects where people are not just volunteering.
They also want their grantees to meditate. Very weird to exert that kind of pressure on grantees.
It is nice that anyone can apply, so it is not a closed application process. And you don't need a nonprofit status to get funding.
