Change starts from within. But where do you begin? This final session will equip philanthropy professionals with practical tools to initiate reporting reform in their organizations. We’ll discuss how to identify key entry points for change, engage internal champions, and build momentum for a shift toward learning-centered reporting.

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.
