For organizations that award grants, reporting requirements are one of the most significant touchpoints with grantees. This session is designed specifically for foundations, funders, and grantmaking organizations seeking to improve their reporting practices while maintaining accountability.
Participants will explore how thoughtful reporting requirements can reduce administrative burden, improve the quality of information received, and strengthen funder-grantee relationships. You'll learn practical strategies for leveraging financial information nonprofits already produce, streamlining reporting expectations, and creating a more effective and sustainable grantmaking process.
Objectives:
