Following this rapid growth
period, we anticipate that GFI will slow their expansion
over the next year.9 They are planning to increase their fundraising capability primarily through strengthening their relationships with existing donors as well as identifying new potential groups of donors.10 They hope this will allow them to maintain
sustained growth beyond the
startup phase.11 Given additional funding, we do think that GFI is structured in such a way that they could continue to expand their organizational capacity across all departments; however, we think that it's possible they will continue to encounter some hiring issues (although not to the same extent as those seen in 2017).
