Join us on 5/26 for: Transparency as a Grantmaking Strategy to Build Trust and Mutual Accountability

In this live, online event, we'll hear from leaders in the field about tactical ways to embrace transparency, the "faceplant" moments they've had along the way, and how they and their foundations have benefited from taking a more transparent approach.

We'll explore questions such as:

• How can you be more transparent with prospective grantees about what you do and don’t fund?
• How can we strive for transparency with current grantees, especially if it has to do with making changes to your funding strategies?
• How can we remain responsive to our grantee partners amidst our very busy schedules and crowded inboxes? And…
• What might we be missing even when we think we’re being transparent and responsive?
• The knowledge that this panel will share will be of interest to any and all staff levels of community, corporate, and independent & family foundations.

Speakers:
Shaady Salehi – Executive Director, Trust-Based Philanthropy Project
Lisa Maloney-Vinz — Director of Global Community Relations, Ecolab Foundation
Drexel Owusu – Chief Impact Officer, The Dallas Foundation
Lauren Scott — Executive Director, Harris and Eliza Kempner Fund

45-minute presentation, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A.
