We Believe

Transparency creates a foundation that enables us to live our values of accountability, empathy, candour, and daring. In our high-trust culture we believe that being open with knowledge, information, and data keeps our team members empowered and engaged and provides a strong foundation for ethical business practices.

High accountability means high-quality work. Empathy is at the heart of our human-centred approach. Candour allows us to create safe spaces for our clients and each other. And our daring sparks fresh ideas and constant improvement to both our client work and the thinking we bring to philanthropy’s most pressing challenges.

We take our B Corp status seriously and are energized by systems and solutions that consider all stakeholders rather than those that benefit few at the expense of many. Exploring new ways of working as part of our commitment to a triple bottomline (people, planet, profit) continues to be a dynamic part of our culture. Grantbook is also a proud member of The Upside Foundation.

Core Values

Empathy

We encourage team members to bring their whole selves to work—to interact with honest and mutual understanding. We invest the time to build emotional literacy and to foster a sense of shared ownership over our work.

  • Whole selves are welcome at work
  • Emotional literacy to understand other perspectives
  • Shared sense of ownership of our work
  • Invest time for relationship-building

Accountability

We trust each team member to know how to complete their work best, and to seek advice, gather support and make decisions proactively. We champion continuous learning and flexibility, adapting our strategies as new lessons and challenges arise.

  • Both trustworthy and trusting
  • Proactive and adaptive to change
  • Autonomous but accountable
  • Anticipate long-term needs and trade-offs

Candour

We aspire to cultivate an environment that encourages openness and direct speech. Our team embraces self-awareness; we encourage acknowledging the feelings, motivations and thoughts behind our individual contributions.

  • Open-door policy: anyone should be able to talk to anyone
  • Be self-aware, because honesty starts with the self
  • Have frank conversations when something isn't working
  • Transparency empowers our work and cooperation

Daring

In a world where things are changing rapidly, learning constantly is vital to getting things right. Our team embraces agility over stagnancy, to deliver the best we can to philanthropy while minimizing risks.

  • Employ agile methodology and scrum to boost efficiency
  • Choose experimentation and learning over obsolescence
  • Innovate for long-term resiliency
  • Take strategic risks when necessary
