The Program
A participatory discussion on revising language, practice, and purpose for a values-aligned and grantee-centered process in a rapidly changing environment
As the funding landscape and operating environment undergo rapid change, many nonprofits are facing the need to recalibrate their business models and plan for previously unexpected scenarios. In this session, we will discuss critical issues for nonprofits in an era of increased scrutiny and shifting revenue models, as well as what supports organizations may need as they navigate these new challenges. Incorporating considerations for equity, we will also explore building an approach to assessing a grantee's financial health that is values-aligned, encourages more nuanced conversations between grantmakers and grantees, and strengthens relationships.
