Hallman Foundation (LSHF) shares the journey and lessons learned from a bold Canadian pilot started in 2018, granting significant additional, unrestricted General Operating Support (GOS) to known grantees.&amp;nbsp; We hear about the time it takes to get boards comfortable with this approach and what\u2019s behind that. We also hear how Laura and the Foundation see advocating for this approach as part of their work, to help shift the sector.&amp;nbsp; Now issuing more than 70% of the Foundation\u2019s grants in unrestricted General Operating Support, LSHF provides insights and a framework in a Canadian context, and encouragement to Canadian funders to take a closer look at unrestricted giving as a way to enable impact.   &amp;nbsp;   Resources&amp;nbsp;   Lyle S.
