A person, organization, or foundation that awards grants — typically financial support given to nonprofits, researchers, artists, or community projects. Grantmakers sit on the powerful side of the funding equation, reviewing applications and deciding where money flows. The term is widely used in the nonprofit sector, philanthropy, and social impact spaces. Private foundations, community foundations, and government agencies all function as grantmakers, shaping what projects get resources and which ideas get off the ground.
As a first-time grantmaker, she was surprised how many compelling applications her foundation received in just the first week.
