Centralization of the Grants Administration Function and the Development of Grant Processing “Best Practices”, by Paul Schofer and Shirley Young, describes how the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation streamlined the fund’s grants-management functions. After finding those functions to be “increasingly complex and redundant,” the foundation reorganized the administrative positions that handle grants and consolidated the formerly separate application and approval processes of its three operating divisions. This report is meant to help other foundations seeking to make their own grants-administration processes more efficient, said Anne Canfield, the foundation’s director of communications.
