Beyond the Check: Enhancing Grantee Well-Being for Lasting Social Impact--March Thought Leadership Discussion

Ray Borkman

Hello all!

Here are the March Webinar details! We will be having a February Webinar as well on 2/27/25 at 11:00 am ET around the Federal Funding Freeze implications for funders. But we're creating this in real time so I do not have the registration page up yet, details will follow though.

I invite you to ask questions that you'd like answered here or in the webinar; as well as to share any experiences you have relevant to the subject! I'll be inviting the speakers to join us here in the discussion both leading up to the webinar as well as for a post-webinar Q/A.

The March Blackbaud Grantmaking Thought Leadership Webinar is:

Beyond the Check: Enhancing Grantee Well-Being for Lasting Social Impact
March 20, 11:00 AM — 12:00 PM EDT (register here)

Mission-driven professionals are the backbone of social impact, yet they often face burnout and resource constraints that make advancing their mission increasingly challenging. This webinar will explore how funders can go beyond financial support to foster grantee well-being as an essential for greater and more sustainable social impact. Participants will gain insights into the challenge of grantee burnout, explore philanthropic trends reshaping funder-grantee relationships, and learn actionable strategies to sustain both social impact and the people driving change.

You will learn how to:

• Understand the link between grantee well-being and long-term social impact.
• Identify barriers to and opportunities for fostering grantee well-being.
• Explore practical strategies for integrating well-being into grantmaking practices.

@Meico Whitlock has been hard at work interviewing both funders and grantees for the last several months to develop this content!
