About this event
This session is part of a three-part curriculum and is only open to registrants of the Grantmakers in Action series.
Grantmakers In Action is a cohort-style learning opportunity to plug into conversations and movements around:
- Centering racial equity in your grantmaking;
- Alternatives to the traditional grantmaking cycle;
- Partnership models; and
- Power dynamics in your role and leveraging your leadership.
Participants will leave this three-part series with a deep knowledge of the “art of grantmaking” and the latest trust-based practices. Register for the inaugural cohort to connect with a community of grant management peers while you level up your grantmaking toolbox for 2023!
Session 2: Partnership in Practice
This session is all about how to navigate and mitigate power dynamics, and ultimately strengthen the relationship between funders and grantees. We will examine specific areas where this enters your work, particularly around communication and partnership building, feedback culture, long-term funding and ending a funding relationship. There will also be an opportunity to workshop a real problem of practice from your work with your peer community.
