GRANT RECIPIENTS IN 2016/2017

In 2016/2017 the Board of Trustees of Gandel Foundation approved a total of 168 grants, the highest number in one year to date.

While the Board maintained the three levels of giving – Community Grants, Major Grants and Flagship Grants, the growth in distributions – by number and dollar amount – was most significant for those larger, Major and Flagship, grants.

Below is a list of all grant recipients in 2016/17, listed according to the grant level and the Area of Interest, in alphabetical order. It is worth noting that some 30% of all grants approved and distributed have been funded in collaboration with other partners, coming from philanthropy, corporate and government sectors.
