Dear Nonprofit Grant Recipients,
Tech Networks of Boston, Third Sector New England, and Essential Partners invite you to participate in a unique program on June 20th: a “Grant Maker/Grant Recipient Dialogue on Nonprofit Data and Evaluation.”
This morning of dialogue will include small group conversations in a safe-enough atmosphere designed to clarify perspectives and surface areas of agreement and difference.
- It will be an opportunity for a limited number of grant makers and grant recipients to have a fresh, new, deeper conversation about these complex and challenging issues.
- It will NOT be the typical panel discussion with a Q & A period. Instead, this session will include an equal number of grant makers and grant recipients, who will engage in candid dialogue.
- Our facilitator will be Dave Joseph, senior associate at Essential Partners; the latter is the nonprofit organization formerly known as the “Public Conversations Project.”
Thus far, our registrants include representatives from the following grant making organizations:
- Barr Foundation
- Boston Foundation
- Clowes Fund, Inc.
- Combined Jewish Philanthropies
- Community Foundation for Nantucket
- GMA Foundations
- Grantmakers Council of Rhode Island
- Greater Worcester Community Foundation
- Health Resources in Action
- Local Initiative Support Corporations
- Massachusetts Service Alliance
- Mott Philanthropic
- Nutter, McClennen & Fish/Lincoln and Therese Filene Foundation
- Schott Foundation for Public Education
- SkillWorks
- The Philanthropic Initiative
- Third Sector New England
- United Way of Greater New Bedford
- United Way of Hampshire County
- United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley
We are now ready to invite an equal number of nonprofit grant recipients.
Please note : because we want equal numbers of grant makers and grant recipients, and so that we can include as many nonprofits as possible, we are requesting that each nonprofit only register ONE staff member to represent the organization.
This session will be the first of a series of three dialogues and will help shape the remaining two.
