Funding Partnerships As a small to mid-sized private foundation focused on girls and women in Des Moines with annual revenue under one million, Chrysalis presents a strong partner profile for grantmaking collaborations, corporate giving programs, and donor-advised fund initiatives that scale impact through joint funding cycles.

Digital Transformation Recent and ongoing technology engagements with partners to develop digital thinking skills programs indicate openness to technology-enabled education solutions, e-learning platforms, and analytics-driven program evaluation that can be offered as scalable services.

Leadership Transition The retirement of long-time executive leadership suggests timing for strategic outreach around interim governance support, leadership advisory services, board development, and fresh strategic planning that aligns with Chrysalis’ mission and funding priorities.

Community Collaboration Active involvement in coalitions like the Women’s Alliance and partnerships with universities and external groups signal a receptiveness to joint sponsorships, event programming, research partnerships, and visibility campaigns that elevate impact for girls and women.

Regional Focus Concentration on Des Moines and surrounding Iowa counties offers a targeted opportunity to propose localized programs, impact measurement, and reporting services that demonstrate measurable community outcomes to current and prospective funders.
