How to Create a Balance Between Grants Management and Business Impact

The win-win outcome is the most ideal situation in business, especially when it comes to corporate social responsibility, and particularly grants management.

To achieve this, grantmaking foundations need to think more holistically in terms of resources at their disposal and what they can provide to nonprofits.
