** This is Part 1 of a Three-Part Series, in partnership with Northern California Grantmakers**
Traditional grant reporting often prioritizes compliance over impact, leaving little room for shared learning between funders and nonprofits. How can funders move beyond transactional reporting toward a more meaningful, equity-centered approach?
This session will explore the role of change management in shifting reporting practices. We’ll discuss the role of senior leadership, fostering cross-team collaboration, and centering nonprofit perspectives can help drive systemic change. Through real-world case studies and interactive discussion, participants will gain insights into the power of learning-driven reporting and leave with concrete strategies for advancing this shift within their organizations.
This session will offer a valuable opportunity to learn through reflections and insights from funders and sector leaders engaged in revitalizing reporting practices. Participants can expect opportunities for discussion and peer learning. A resource hub will also be made available, containing essential materials supporting the topics covered. We’ll provide attendees with a roster of participants so that you can build a deeper network of change-focused peers.
