Grantmakers for Effective Organizations is a community of more than 3,000 individuals representing 370 grantmakers that are challenging the status quo in philanthropy to help nonprofits achieve more. Understanding that grantmakers are successful only to the extent that their grantees achieve meaningful results, GEO promotes strategies and practices that contribute to grantee success. We help grantmakers improve practices in areas which, through years of work in philanthropy, have been identified by innovators in the field as critical to nonprofit success: Learning for Improvement, Collaborative Problem-Solving, Money, Stakeholder Engagement and Scaling What Works.
