Cape Cod & Islands Funders Network Meeting
This
meeting of Cape and Islands Funders Network follows our in-person June session.
We will spend our time together in small group conversation, focusing on some
of the topics that emerged when we were together. This will allow us to go
deeper and think more concretely about how we can move these themes forward
into our Network priorities for 2025. You can expect small
discussion groups on some of these topics:
- Collective narrative: Communicating our impact and advocating for the
communities we serve
- Engaging with boards and volunteers
- Systems change work
- Trust based philanthropy
- Values alignment challenges with donors
About the Network:
The Cape Cod & Islands Funders Network exists to deepen our collective impact as funders, especially related to identifying innovative solutions to key needs on the Cape, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. As a Network, we desire to strengthen, adapt, and potentially streamline grantmaking practices with the goal of making grantseeking easier for nonprofit organizations (NPOs). In our time together, we expect to learn from our peers and external content providers. Finally, we hope to strengthen relationships amongst grantmakers across the Cape and the Islands.
