Rapid Learning to Reduce Risk and Build Trust

Host Organization: Exponent Philanthropy

About

Taking on risky, large, or new projects when you are a small staffed foundation can be very challenging and seem aspirational. What if you could deploy a strategy to expand your giving, receive rapid and early validation to enable more confidence in your giving, all while investing in capacity- and relationship-building with your grantee partners?

John Amoroso, Executive Director, The David and Lura Lovell Foundation will join Heather Hiscox, Founder and CEO of Pause for Change, to share three case studies that highlight how with a small investment, you can accelerate your learning to inform your decision-making.

Join us to find out how you can:

  • Make funding decisions based on real data and evidence in a matter of weeks instead of months and years
  • Build trust-based relationships with your grantee partners based on learning and flexibility
  • Reduce risk in potential proposals and remove uncertainty
  • Test drive collaborative partnerships.
