Their approach revolves around aligning their initiatives with the needs of grantees, rather than imposing on them. They achieve this through a series of thoughtful strategies:

Multiyear Unrestricted Grants: by providing multi year unrestricted grants, they empower organizations with the flexibility to execute their initiatives effectively.

Simplified Application and Reporting: FSB streamlines the application and reporting process, reducing administrative burdens for grantees.

Continuous Feedback Loop: They establish a constant feedback loop and take actions based on the insights they gather, ensuring a responsive approach.

Tailored Support: FSB offers support beyond financial grants, based on the specific needs expressed by partner organizations.

Personal Relationships: Building personal relationships with each entity fosters a genuine connection and better understanding of their unique challenges and aspirations.

Certainly, these strategies offer us a broadview of the transformational practices that can be possible inside the philanthropic ecosystem. These spaces keep giving us the opportunity to hear and explore other models and initiatives that advance equity in Puerto Rico. Also, they expand our relationships as an ecosystem and open the door to reflect and think in the ways that we can adopt better practices to a more fair and equitable archipelago.
