Who Holds the Mic? How can funders redesign reporting to better support learning and center grantee voices in reporting for impact. This session will dive into five years of data collection on reporting practices, examining emerging trends and practical pathways for change.

Participants will hear from funders and nonprofit leaders about their experiences moving away from extractive reporting models and toward collaborative, efficient, and learning-driven approaches. We’ll explore the intersection of reporting, AI tools, and continuous improvement, offering tangible strategies to reshape grantmaking for impact.

Through breakout discussions and case sharing, attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on their own practices, identify key barriers, and develop next steps toward implementing more effective reporting processes.

What else should you know?

Join our three-part virtual series, flipping the script on grant reporting, evolving the function into a more effective, learning-driven process. Traditional reporting often focuses on compliance and funder needs, limiting nonprofits' ability to showcase their full impact. This series will feature funders sharing redesign examples, interactive discussions on shifting from compliance to collaboration, and changing mindsets from evaluation to partnership. This learning series will support those who lead, shape and/or manage grantmaking processes to get aligned and informed. We encourage you to attend with team members to bring the learning back into your organization.
