AGENDA:
10:00am – 11 :00am: Welcome, PEAK Grantmaking Updates, & Overview of the Competency Model
11:00am – 12:15pm: Collecting and Using Demographic Data
Less than half of grantmakers collect demographic data, and there are many myths and barriers that prevent this data collection. This session will help both grantmakers and nonprofits understand the importance of demographic data in assessing outcomes. Explore:
- The four questions all grantmakers should ask in collaboration with grantseekers and grantees: what data should be collected; how should it be collected; how should it be interpreted; and how should it be used in their work?
- The myths and barriers that keep grantmakers and nonprofits from collecting and acting on this information
- How to “make the case” at your own organization for improving or implementing demographic data collection
12:15pm – 1:00pm: Lunch and Networking
1:00pm – 2:30pm: Tips for Effective Communication
Use these practical tips to improve your skills in developing meeting agendas, facilitating team meetings, presenting to the board, or training grantee partners. We’ll complete an interactive exercise that will work the concepts and get everyone talking.
2:30pm – 3:00pm: Closing
