The Grants Confidence Gap: Uncovering Hidden Barriers to Effective Grantmaking

Why attend

Grantmaking teams are facing a crisis of confidence. While 74% of organizations report executing on grantmaking best practices, only 51% feel they’re doing it well. This disconnect — what Benevity Impact Labs calls the grants confidence gap — is limiting impact, alignment and momentum across even the most experienced teams.

Join us for an exclusive deep dive into the findings from Benevity Impact Labs’ 2025 grants report, The Grants Confidence Gap: Uncovering the Hidden Barriers to Effective Corporate Grantmaking (coming soon). Based on data from 120 global companies, this first-of-its-kind research reveals the areas where grantmaking teams feel less confident — and what leaders can do to close the gap and build greater confidence in the impact their teams are making.

Join us to:

• Identify where your grantmaking team may be experiencing a confidence gap - even if you’re doing all the right things.
• Explore the four themes where this confidence gap is affecting grantmaking teams and programs - from strategic alignment and stakeholder engagement to innovation and communication.
• Discover what the data reveals about practices that inspire greater confidence, like trust-based principles and communicating long-term impact to strengthen alignment and support.
