Even the best-laid plans go awry, and this is also true for philanthropy.

When sudden social, environmental, or health-related emergencies arise, usual grantmaking operations need to adapt to award funds more rapidly and efficiently address new problems. At the same time, plans need to be put into place and frameworks need to be developed to understand the impact of those changes on your organization.

So, where should you start? Should these sudden emergencies be supported for the long run? Could those new processes be the new normal?

We want to help. Fluxx teamed up with Grantbook to share useful best practices for rapid response grantmaking that you can apply to any mission or emergency.
