Who Holds the Mic? How can funders redesign reporting to better support learning and center grantee voices in reporting for impact. This session will dive into five years of data collection on reporting practices, examining emerging trends and practical pathways for change.

Participants will hear from funders and nonprofit leaders about their experiences moving away from extractive reporting models and toward collaborative, efficient, and learning-driven approaches. We’ll explore the intersection of reporting, AI tools, and continuous improvement, offering tangible strategies to reshape grantmaking for impact.
