  Official Website Release of the Guide!

  Maximizing opportunities for informative, collaborative, and productive site visits of funders to nonprofits has been a top focus of Philanthropy Massachusetts for years. Through a yearlong process with funder and nonprofit input, our staff has published a document called “Successful Site Visits: Guidance, Strategies, and Tips for Funder and Nonprofits” to support this goal. It’s full of tips and best practices for making visits by funders successful, efficient, respectful, and beneficial for both parties, and includes some common mistakes to avoid. 

  Please join us for this 30-minute webinar. We will introduce the guide and other resources to prepare both the funder and prospective/grantee for these events

  FPN is committed to convening and educating funders around public policy and advocacy, specifically so our member foundations better understand how the system works at both a federal and a Florida statewide level.

  We invite our members to participate in a training to learn the methods around advancing policy and advocacy, state laws, and ballot measures for tax-exempt organizations both from the federal and statewide perspective.

  The training, Florida Funders - Technical Assistance and Support, will convene funders across the state to learn from experts how to go beyond fundamental advocacy efforts. The objective is to provide federal and Florida-specific public policy and advocacy technical assistance relevant to Florida foundations' efforts in this space.

  Session supported through Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funding.

  • The training will be led by attorneys and experts in the field specific to Florida and Federal regulations.
  • Participants will utilize a groundbreaking new policy tool which will help them examine their policy work and how they can advance their efforts.
    
  • Attendees will have the opportunity for Q&A with the experts and networking/discussion with other attendees to find areas for collaboration and best-practice sharing.
