TransFormation Alliance has just as much to gain from the local grant opportunities as it does from national funding sources. Depending on the targeted funder, TransFormation Alliance can pitch its work with members within a specific issue area, for example the arts, health or the environment to those funders who have more of a siloed approach to its grantmaking. In addition to philanthropic organizations, appealing to the community of high net worth individuals with a history of funding these types of projects and advocating for equitable development should be included in the fund development strategy. The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta is a good resource for investigating and engaging high net worth individuals interested in supporting TransFormation Alliance’s work. One of the ways community foundations distribute grants is through its donor-advised fund, which allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. Donor advised funds are a suitable giving vehicle for high net worth individuals to support the TransFormation Alliance and its member organizations.
