Small Grants Can Drive Big Results

There is a common misconception that it takes large grants to achieve exceptionally far-reaching impact. Not necessarily. There are times when small grants can leverage a sizable impact multiplier effect. Propel Philanthropy has collected stories where small grants have achieved impressive results.

Another Promising Path to Impact

Traditionally, we pursue impact across just one or a few verticals. However, providing catalytic support to social impact infrastructure organizations (SIIOs) is a viable pathway for achieving oversized returns that can affect many important cause areas. Propel Philanthropy provides a sizable directory of SIIOs.

Champion SIIO Funders

Consider the visionary funders who supported the Foundation Directory, published by the Foundation Center, an SIIO that has been helping countless nonprofits survive and thrive since 1960. Imagine the impact achieved by those behind TechSoup— another SIIO that provides support to hundreds of thousands of organizations in 236 countries. And what about the European Foundation Centre (now Philea), an SIIO whose members accelerate the social sector in countries across the continent?
