WEHF ensures that the burden of the grantmaking process is held primarily by their program staff. They let us submit a proposal that we wrote for a different funder and the reporting process was streamlined. The trust the have in their grantees is such a powerful gift.

I've been wowed at how quickly WEHF pivoted to support their grantees during the pandemic. They were proactive and supportive. They've been the best funder we've worked with during the crisis.
I would love it if WEHF could influence other funders to treat their grantees with respect as they do.
They make the grantwriting and reporting process super easy for their grantees. They give us time back that we can invest in our work.

They are patient and engaged in the process on a high level. You will need to have clear records and proof of use of funds and progress made during the grant year.

This funder is very straight-forward. They are clear about what they intend to fund. My recommendation would be to be candid, as well. Don't try to make it all fit. It either it does or doesn't

The funder has traditional focus on economic security and employment and it was nice that they stretched to include older adults in the focus with this grant.
Be open to needs as the pandemic will linger in its effects for older adults, hands on caregivers and adults with disabilities.
Had a previous grant and with the COVID-19 emergencies, were identified as a strong program for older adults

I have had very positive experiences - I would say to come prepared with data, well organized anecdotal supports, and to be candid and transparent in your challenges and plans. All my conversations have been thoughtful, reflective and part of an iterative process that has yielded more than funding for my organization - our program officer is a trusted partner and has informed my thinking and stretched me as a strategic leader.
