Stakeholder Influences

Programs must often cater to the needs or expectations of many stakeholders, which may include the program administrator and staff, the funding institution, and the community the program serves. In any human services program, one of the most influential stakeholders is the funding institution. The funding institution often has its own expectations for the program and its evaluation.

Funding Opportunity

The National Foundation’s funding program, Supporting Families, strives to fulfill the following objectives:

• Promote the well-being of young men, women, and children whose lives have been affected by domestic violence, and to reduce the prevalence of domestic violence through increased service provision, education, and awareness.
• Improve the quality of life of families with a member or members in prison, through the provision of services responsive to their needs.
• Provide young people who are or have been involved with the criminal justice system with a rehabilitation program designed to obtain the skills, confidence, and personal support networks to enable them to lead fulfilled and successful lives.

The foundation has two grant programs under which it provides funding to nonprofits:

• The Small Grants Program offers one-time grants of up to $5,000 to registered charities with an annual budget under $500,000.
The Investor Program is an innovative funding program designed to support six organizations under each of the objectives of the Supporting Families program, with up to $150,000 a year for up to 3 years.
