The State of Philanthropy Tech and Implications for Our Workplace

About

The Foundation Administrators Network (FAN) is a Philanthropy New York professional peer network of HR and operations professionals at member grantmaking organizations. FAN hosts quarterly meetings on a broad range of topics relevant to HR and operations administration. 

How common is it for foundation staff to be back in the office? What platforms and tools are others using for remote and grantmaking? How can I leverage peer benchmarking to advocate change within my organization?

To assist in answering these questions, in July 2022, Technology Association of Grantmakers (TAG) conducted a survey to better understand the technology environment, practices, and perception in philanthropy. Now in its third version, the 2022 State of Philanthropy Tech survey compiled results from 277 grantmaking organizations throughout North America, the EU, and UK.

Please join us in this interactive virtual meeting that will explore key findings and trends for your 2023 planning.
