"We're Not in Kansas Anymore!" Changing Expectations from Funders

Thursday, February 9, 2023 (3:00 PM - 4:00 PM) (EST)

Description

  • Does passion for mission still matter? If so, how important is passion to Funders? 
  • How important is ‘business acumen’ to Funders? If so, what does this look like?
  • Is organizational size or anticipated impact more important to Funders? How important are metrics in demonstrating your effectiveness and impact?
  • Can you convincingly tell the story of the consequences that would result if you did not exist? 
  • Are Funders becoming more (or less) interested in non-profit alliances? How might this affect your proposed strategy(ies)?

These and other questions will be explored in a two-part virtual workshop: 

Session 1: Changing Funder's Expectations 

Session 2: Creating Credibility with Funders

Topics to be explored include how and why expectations from funders are changing, various interpretations of “business acumen,” and selected management processes and metrics that acknowledge limited resources. Implications for grantsmanship, donor solicitation, and relationship management will also be discussed.

Participants will be provided with a "Checklist of Funder Perspectives" that can be used by their staff and board to identify opportunities to more effectively meet their funders' needs and expectations. 

This workshop will not be recorded. 

Dates: Thursday, January 26
            Thursday, February 9 

            3:00 pm - 4:00 pm via Zoom
