What we've been exploring in recent years, for about two years, is when we select projects for funding, for instance, the campus projects.... We had some 22 or 24 projects that were selected for funding. We tried to create a community among the project proponents, where they would be put in contact by teleconference to share learnings. We could, at times, bring in an academic expert or an expert group to make a presentation to these groups so that collectively they share learnings.
Our hope is that they will become a community that will outlast us, so that once we're no longer there as a funder, the linkages we have created will continue and will allow these groups to share their experiences and save time and money, not reinvent things on an individual basis.
We do those types of things, connecting groups.
