We are confident that your investment in this skill-building seminar will help you develop a work plan to go about involving your stakeholders in your grantmaking. Almost all (94%) of previous participants rated their overall experience as valuable or very valuable. Eighty-nine of all participants agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, I am leaving here with concrete ideas for how to involve grantees and other stakeholders in our grantmaking. Here’s some of what past participants have had to say about the benefits they took away from the seminar:

“I enjoyed interacting with internal and external colleagues during the workshop - it was great to get away from daily work and gain some perspective on issues like how to cope with the power dynamic of grantee relationships.”
