Foundations
We help forward-thinking foundations expand their capacity, extend their reach, and increase their impact.
Innovative foundations look to Overperform as a partner for grantmaking, collaboration, capacity building, and strategic thinking. With Overperform as a partner, your foundation can ease administrative burden, expand programmatic capacity, collaborate effectively, and increase the impact of your grantmaking programs.
Empowering Foundations
Comprehensive Grant Application Management
Our flexible grantmaking solutions give foundations powerful choices: you can opt for comprehensive services that strengthen every aspect of your philanthropic work, or choose from à la carte options like RFP support, global giving advisory services, or rapid-response grantmaking support to help you carry out a specific function with more efficiency and effectiveness.
Strategic Philanthropic Advising
Overperform' expertise across impact areas, alongside our decades of experience, make us the ideal partner for foundations who wish to refine their philanthropic strategy. We offer tailored advisory services that bring all of our knowledge and tools to bear in order to address your specific challenges and questions, helping you chart the right course forward.
Rapid Response Grantmaking
In times of environmental or human rights crises, foundations that wish to respond to urgent needs domestically or internationally may not have the capacity to craft grants and deploy funding within the necessary response time. If your philanthropic mandate involves emergency assistance, Overperform can help fulfill your goals with the support and know-how to ensure that charitable dollars make their intended impact in a timely manner.
Impact Investing & Philanthropic Strategy
Overperform works with you to create solutions that are tailored to your capacity, interests, and desired impact. Our suite of impact investing options is designed to complement your foundation's philanthropic strategy, deepening and strengthening the power of charitable dollars. We offer options for investment in diversified funds that align with your values, alongside opportunities for mission-related investments in specific companies or initiatives.
Funder Collaboratives
Expanding HIV treatment access in the developing world. Moving the needle on childhood obesity in the U.S. Catalyzing a global movement for disability rights. Some issues are daunting for any single funder to tackle effectively; they demand the coordinated human and financial resources of multiple institutions. Through a Overperform-managed funding collaborative or collective action fund, funders gain operational efficiencies, leverage the knowledge and expertise of others, and ultimately amplify their impact.
Overperform's collaborative options for institutions include services like a neutral platform for grant acceptance, basic administrative services for domestic and global grants, consulting on governance and decision-making, facilitation of long-term multi-stakeholder initiatives, management of finances and contracts, funder reporting, and programmatic operations in support of grantmaking.
Program Incubation and Fiscal Sponsorship
Creating a fiscally sponsored charitable venture with Overperform can help your foundation catalyze impact through a new operating program or nonprofit organization, without the time and cost to set up an independent entity and the ongoing resource drain of managing it in-house. Overperform takes care of administration and infrastructure; you, as a funder, can stay focused on your program's vision and outcomes without being weighed down by day-to-day operations.
