They seem to have enough sense to know where participation vs project led action needs to be in order to get anything done. Everything is always more at the whim of the funder. If you've got a big donor who is anal about reporting and you end up stuck filling in logframes all the time or hosting junkets from the funding managers to visit sites, it will be bad. They seemed to be able to buffer their front line people a bit. I didn't work for them though, just in the same space.
