Strategic Partnerships Lever for Change actively forms partnerships with funders and organizations (e.g., Crankstart, Capital One Foundation, Candid) to expand funding opportunities and impact, indicating openness to collaboration with donors and nonprofit allies that could be approached for co-funding or joint grant challenges.

Open Call Programs The organization runs open calls and tailored challenges through the Bold Solutions Network, signaling opportunities to present prospective funders with structured grant challenges and scalable impact projects that align with donor interests.

Impact and Reach With influence over over $2.5 billion in grants and support to more than 175 organizations since 2019, Lever for Change demonstrates credibility and a track record that can be leveraged in pitches to larger philanthropic funders seeking proven impact.

Leadership and Talent Recent leadership addition of a Vice President of Operations and ongoing collaboration with communications experts suggests a focus on scalable operations, process optimization, and stronger stakeholder communications—a point to highlight for funder-facing value propositions.

Tech and Engagement Adoption of a diverse tech stack (Salesforce, Pardot, WordPress, SharePoint, etc.) and emphasis on inclusive, equitable model and due diligence indicate readiness to leverage data-driven fundraising, donor stewardship, and digital engagement tools in partner proposals.
