Scaling What Works

Through the Scaling What Works initiative, GEO will gather and share learning and resources to connect grantmakers to practices that grow impact and build stronger and more effective nonprofit organizations. We also support collaboration and information sharing among the grantmakers that receive Social Innovation Fund awards, as well as between these organizations and the broader philanthropic community. We hope the resources found here introduce you to:

• new or different ways of thinking about scale,
• approaches to funding that support growing impact,
• guidance on successfully participating as an intermediary or funding partner for Social Innovation Fund grants,
• grantee-centric principles and practices that are relevant to your work, and
• sources of more information if you want to dive deeper.

Explore each of the following offerings and check back regularly for new content and ideas to support your grantmaking practices.

• GEO publications
