Our Approach
The Zeist Foundation Board of Directors is actively involved in the grantmaking process, including site visits to proposal reviews and grant award notifications. The Zeist Foundation staff keeps the Board regularly apprised on grantee progress, nonprofit trends and new funding opportunities.
Innovators
The Foundation supports nonprofits that aim to be creative, imaginative and are willing to take healthy risks to find solutions to the issues faced by the children and youth of Georgia.
Collaborators
The Foundation believes that no one organization can successfully address the issues facing children and youth in Georgia and that collaboration among nonprofits, as well as private-public partnerships, are necessary to meet the education, health, human service and cultural needs of children, youth and families.
Conveners
The Foundation recognizes that many organizations are engaged in productive, meaningful service on behalf of children and youth, yet too many are not connected and aligned for the greater good; thus, the Foundation plays a convening role with nonprofits, public sector agencies (e.g. schools) and even businesses that are stakeholders.
Funders
The Zeist Foundation staff keeps the Board of Directors apprised of grant progress, nonprofit trends, and new funding opportunities. We support nonprofits across the state through semi-annual grant cycles.
