Kresge Foundation Employs New Funding Methods in its First Quarter Grant Awards of Nearly $...(/p For the present Kresge will utilize...),Health

For the present, Kresge will utilize the new funding methods through an invitation process only. "We look forward to a time when Kresge will apply these tools in a more responsive way," Rapson notes. "But we first need to determine the strategic directions our program areas will pursue. Once we are more comfortable with those directions, the tools can be put into play more fully and flexibly. We encourage grantseekers to watch the Kresge Foundation Web site (http://www.kresge.org) to learn about new developments associated with our expansion. We are committed to communicating as much as we know as early as we can."
