Increase Investment in Acadia

You decide to increase investment in Acadia and will increase your grantmaking budget in the country so that XYZ can fill the gaps left by those who are leaving. XYZ foundation has enough funds to increase grant making in 2025 but the budget for 2026 is up in the air.

Exciting news!

United Nations announces a new initiative focused on developing community projects focused on improving social justice in Acadia with new pledges from corporate foundations amounting to $20 million to date. The UN approaches your organization to be part of this initiative, offering $1M over 4 years, but requires you to raise $1M in corporate funding as a match.

What will you do next?

Your next steps need to be taken carefully. Consider the questions below (but there are others that may affect your decision). Good luck.

You need funds to continue the work in Acadia - is this the right opportunity?

XYZ historically does not have a lot of funding from corporations because the environmental justice and LGBTQI+ rights work often puts XYZ in conflict with corporations.

What infrastructure do you need as an organization in order to be part of this initiative?

If you don't take this funding, what are your alternatives?
