Abstract:
The IAF has hired the services of a 3rd party private organization to collect the information, which will then be shared primarily with the IAF’s Programs Office team assigned to this specific initiative. The information, in an aggregated form, will also be shared with other agency offices, as needed and/or pertinent, to advance equitable grantmaking. The information collection will enable the agency to allocate its limited funds more efficiently, ensuring that they reach the groups in greater need. Specifically, the collection will provide the agency with a deeper understanding of barriers marginalized/underserved groups face to: 1) accessing IAF programming, and 2) achieving their development objectives. Depending on findings, the IAF will adjust its practices to: 1) Better support marginalized groups and the grantees who work with them and 2) Develop and deploy strategies to improve access to all grant proponents and extend its network of grassroots organizations. The study will use two complementary methods: focus groups and surveys. The focus groups will provide us with more answers about what we saw in the survey data, such as why barriers exist, how organizations confront and understand these barriers, and what IAF can do to better support organizations facing such barriers.
