Heat Mapping: Key Takeaways Benefits • Clarifies funder vision & activities • Facilitates strategy

Heat Mapping: Key Takeaways Benefits • Clarifies funder vision & activities • Facilitates strategy conversations • Tallies based entirely off grantee documents Drawbacks • Reduces findings to number of occurrences rather than intensity • Omits tallying components not already on the LM • Reliant on grantee data 12
