Yea it’s a five minute video, who watches those anymore! However, if you followed us over the course of Serve Week 2024 (The Ocho) this is an awesome wrap up and great work by the team. We try and use LinkedIn to open a window into our culture. And while Foundry Commercial isn’t perfect and we will always have work to do in pursuit of our standards, I think this is one of the things we get really right. We are a services company and spending time with these amazing organizations, which we encourage you to check out and support, reminds us what true service looks like. It is a week where we try to give back and we always end up getting so much more than we give. Great job Lauren and the entire Serve Week support team. #foundrycommercial #itspersonal #theocho #serveweek2024

Efforts to make federal #grantmaking to #nonprofits more accessible are appreciated, but new the guidance is far from equitable. 🔍 Key Points: 👍 Language Inclusivity: English is removed as the sole language for notices of funding opportunities, applications, and reports 👍 Simplified Reporting: The reporting process is streamlined and audit threshold increased 😕 Indirect Cost Rate Concerns: The increase in the de minimis indirect cost rate from 10% to 15% is still not nearly enough to cover essential program expenses 👎 Exclusionary Matching Requirements: Continuing matching funds requirements disadvantage smaller nonprofits disproportionately led by women and people of color 👎 Technical Assistance Gap: The exclusion of nonprofits from technical assistance opportunities available to for-profit business remains a critical shortfall
