regrantee

A regrantee is an organization or individual that receives funds from a larger grant-making entity, known as a regranting organization, to distribute to other entities or projects. Essentially, the regranting organization acts as an intermediary, passing on funds to smaller, often grassroots, organizations or projects that may not have the capacity or direct access to apply for larger grants.

This model is common in various sectors, including philanthropy, arts and culture, community development, and international aid. Regrantees are typically selected based on their alignment with the regranting organization's mission, their ability to reach specific target populations, or their expertise in a particular area. The regranting organization often provides not only financial support but also technical assistance, capacity building, and networking opportunities to its regrantees.

The regranting model allows for more flexible and responsive grantmaking, enabling funds to reach a wider range of beneficiaries and support a diverse array of initiatives. It can be particularly effective in addressing niche needs or supporting emerging organizations. The regrantee is responsible for managing the sub-grants, ensuring they are used effectively and in accordance with the original grant's objectives, and reporting back to the regranting organization on the progress and impact of the funded projects.
