Impactful Storytelling: Using Data to Tell Stories of Change
You’re invited to join this virtual gathering hosted by the CMF Learning & Evaluation peer community, open to all CMF members. Together we'll learn about and explore ideas for collecting data and using data in storytelling, and we’ll hear how other organizations have told stories of impact using data. We’ll also discuss trust-based evaluation approaches to gather meaningful qualitative and quantitative data while thoughtfully reducing the lift on nonprofit partners. This session features expert insights from a research, strategy and evaluation consulting firm and foundation peers, with ample opportunity for Q&A.
Making the Case for Trust-Based Philanthropy: An Equity Signature Series Workshop
As trust-based philanthropy gains recognition across the sector, more funders, individual donors and grantmaking professionals are getting curious about this as an approach to alleviate power imbalances and advance community impact. While many leaders and practitioners have a base-level understanding of why trust-based philanthropy is the way to go, many are still grappling with how to make the case to their peers. This can be especially challenging given the range of misperceptions, critiques and questions that come up for those who are less familiar with trust-based philanthropy.
