Strategically Aligned Project Selection
TM
SAPS
Articulating a powerful case for philanthropic support depends upon the selection of clearly defined and compelling funding priorities. Yet, many complex health care organizations struggle to identify and articulate the programmatic, capital, innovation, community health impact and other initiatives philanthropy could advance.
Achieving alignment between the health care organization’s strategic vision and charitable funding priorities is essential to maximize the impact of donor dollars. Accordant has developed a simple but robust process to surface, pressure test and prioritize potential charitable funding opportunities for organizations seeking to enhance their philanthropic impact.

Accordant’s Strategically Aligned Project Selection™ evaluates proposed funding projects through three essential lenses—Donor Appeal, Operational Viability and Engagement Readiness. Projects positioned at the intersection of these three criteria offer the highest potential for philanthropic success and mission impact.
