TA and Capacity Building in the Evolving Implementation Landscape: Analysis of Challenges and Opportunities for Philanthropy
Recognizing the need to understand how philanthropy can help communities in a new period of federal funding implementation in 2025 and beyond, Freedman Consulting’s What Works Plus (WW+) funder collaborative compiled an analysis to (1) identify evolving challenges and barriers to implementation on the ground and (2) surface timely opportunities for philanthropic engagement.
Drawing on interviews with implementers, communities, funders, and other relevant stakeholders, this analysis highlights emerging gaps in technical assistance and capacity building — two areas of philanthropic support that have taken on outsized importance as project implementation moves forward.
