November 21, 2024 @ 9:00 am – 2:00 pm UTC+0
Join this interactive, in-person workshop where you will develop a range of philanthropy partnership-building skills and access new tools, covering:
Innovative ways to find new partners
How to conduct trust-based and equitable due diligence
What to look for non-profit annual reports, including financial statements
How to define your risk appetite and develop best practices in risk mitigation
How to build strong partnerships over time, including through equitable practices to grantmaking
As a “Studio” programme, we will ask participants to bring examples of what you already have: including existing due diligence frameworks, to share, analyse and improve. Any members who do not yet have these frameworks can still join and develop them during the session.
This program will be held on Thursday, November 21 in Toronto, Canada. More information and an agenda will be shared soon and please contact Lisa Wolverton with any questions at lisa@forward-global.org.
What is a Studio?
Forward Global Studios are highly interactive, expert-led programmes designed for members looking to go deeper on a particular practice or skill. They invite you to bring forward a challenge you are working on and to workshop the challenge with the expert, using tried and tested frameworks designed to help you overcome barriers and move forward.
Who is eligible to join a Studio?
Studio participation is limited to Forward Global members who have completed an Essentials programme, or who completed the Cohort before 2018. This is required in order that participants have the foundational concepts and language required to go deeper. If you would like to join a Studio but haven’t completed these programmes, please reach out to your Relationship Manager for advice.
It is recommended that participants have a sufficient level of strategic focus to allow them to participate in the activities named above. It is not required that participants have a comprehensive written strategy, or have started making grants.
