"We make sure groups get the funding they need that is responsive, timely and flexible," says Executive Director Mary McGrath, explaining how she and co-founder Ruth Richardson were frustrated witnessing great projects struggling to find funding, shut out from traditional avenues or too small to afford reporting burdens. "We knew there had to be a mechanism to get funding."
