You can think of a grant budget as another way to describe a program and its activities.
Everything you have proposed to do in the program is represented somewhere in the budget,
and if an activity is missing from the budget, you need to ask why! Grant budgets also represent
partnerships, collaborations, and community involvement activities.

Traditional grant reporting often prioritizes compliance over impact, leaving little room for shared learning between funders and nonprofits. How can funders move beyond transactional reporting toward a more meaningful, equity-centered approach?

This session will explore the role of change management in shifting reporting practices. We’ll discuss the role of senior leadership, fostering cross-team collaboration, and centering nonprofit perspectives can help drive systemic change. Through real-world case studies and interactive discussion, participants will gain insights into the power of learning-driven reporting and leave with concrete strategies for advancing this shift within their organizations.

This virtual grant writing training takes an in-depth look at how to describe community needs, a step that is very often required to complete a grant proposal. The good news is that you and your organization already know your community and its needs!

This final session will equip philanthropy professionals with practical tools to initiate reporting reform in their organizations. We’ll discuss how to identify key entry points for change, engage internal champions, and build momentum for a shift toward learning-centered reporting.

Don’t be intimidated by program evaluation or logic models! They use specialized language, but
they are descriptions of very practical and down-to-earth realities about your program, such as
clearly describing what your program will do, counting how many people you served, or
listening to people describe how they were impacted by your program activities.
