Action Workshops

Join us for an interactive and fast-paced workshop that explores concrete ways to reduce the costs of your grant application and reporting practices to both your organization and to your grantees. Workshop attendees will:

• Revisit assumptions about what kind of information is necessary for effective and responsible grantmaking;
• Share past streamlining experiences;
• Learn how to assess and rethink application and reporting systems that place an unnecessary burden on grantmakers and grantees;
• Identify barriers to streamlining and how they might be overcome;
• Create an action plan for making concrete changes to current practices.
