IP TAKE: GHETS places a heavy emphasis on long-term, sustainable strategies rather than short-term gains. Information is sparse here and the staff harder to get a hold of, but the organization fills an important niche. Unfortunately, the foundation is inaccessible and does not provide a clear way to apply for a grant, but reach out to learn about how the foundation is funding at this time.
