This CEP survey with 1,881 Ford Foundation grantees (2024) examines organizational impact, communication, and funder–grantee relationships. It notes progress in unrestricted and multi-year funding but highlights challenges with administrative burden, renewal processes, and non-financial support. Differences by race, gender, LGBTQ+ identity, and disability reveal persistent equity gaps in philanthropy. The report provides critical benchmarks and insights for improving grantmaking practices.
