Grantmaking Expansion The foundation has a strong grantmaking program and recent large funding activity, including a $7.5M Lilly Endowment grant for early childhood development and multiple grant initiatives. This indicates ongoing capacity for large-scale partnerships and cofunded programs with nonprofits, universities, and community organizations.

Strategic Partnerships Recent collaborations include Bethel University hosting events with local partners and Goshen College receiving significant support from Inspiringgood. This suggests opportunities to position the foundation as a convening partner for higher education institutions and local nonprofits to drive joint programs.

Donor Advisory Growth With a focus on advising donors and professional advisors, there is potential to offer tailored philanthropic advisory services, donor education programs, and endowment strategy consulting to expand donor engagement and escalating gift sizes.

Youth and Early Childhood Focus Priority areas emphasize youth development and early childhood initiatives. Identify opportunities to develop targeted grants, impact measurement services, and scalable programs with nonprofits serving youth and families, aligning with funded outcomes and reporting needs.

Tech & Engagement The tech stack includes user experience and analytics tools (Hotjar, UserWay) and collaboration platforms (SharePoint). This indicates readiness for digital donor journeys, online grant applications, and data-driven outreach; propose enhanced digital fundraising, onboarding, and grant management solutions.
