According to The Bridgespan Group, a nonprofit consulting firm, the number of organizations that can serve as intermediaries has increased substantially over the past 15 years. Intermediary grantmaking institutions have been established and funded — often with support from foundations — for a number of reasons, including but not limited to their proximity to communities, efficiency, expertise, and ability to facilitate collaboration across donors.

Friends hop in and out. Men don’t like it. Because it means that I move on my own; I do not need them. I’m not sure if it’s a queer women specific trait, but when we work with men in activist spaces, we do not seek their approval.
