These are uncertain times for the people and organizations dedicated to providing crucial services to underserved U.S. communities.
But an unclear operating environment does not mean we should sit still and wait. This is exactly the time to prepare our organizations for whatever change is coming in a thoughtful, data-driven way. Understanding organizations’ financial health and readiness, and crafting potential scenarios for programs and services, are the crucial first steps.
This two-hour virtual workshop, led by our partner Nonprofit Finance Fund, is designed to help grant makers understand the challenges facing nonprofits leaders, and how grantmaking can be aligned with adaptability and long-term stability, including how to:
- Ask your grantees the key questions that need to be addressed now
- Assess their ability to weather uncertainty
- Determine if your current practices best support your grantees’ needs
- Respond to immediate concerns without endangering long-term organizational health
NFF has been teaching this preparedness to thousands of social sector leaders for decades. In response to concerns voiced in the post-election period about an uncertain funding and policy landscape, they have developed this webinar to help funders talk openly and plan proactively, so that mission-driven organizations can have and maintain the financial strength to support their communities.
Register by Friday, April 4 to receive the early bird rate of $199. After this date the rate will be $235.
