Unfunded List

Attention DC philanthropy community! In these turbulent times for our sector, we need opportunities to come together and keep our networks and skills strong. The fundraising and philanthropy world is facing unprecedented challenges, with massive federal funding cuts already wreaking havoc with more turbulence on the horizon. Many of us are feeling overwhelmed and concerned about the future of philanthropy. But there is hope, and together we can make a difference. I'm excited to be returning to Washington, DC next week for a crucial event on March 8th: Reviewers United: A Gathering of Philanthropy Professionals In partnership with Spur Local (formerly the Catalogue for Philanthropy), we're offering this FREE event as an opportunity to roll up our sleeves and get involved. As the landscape of philanthropy evolves, we need experienced and well-trained proposal reviewers to keep the funding flowing to deserving causes. It's particularly important that community members and those most affected by issues are participating in proposal review and helping advise nonprofits and funder as they make critical funding decisions. What to expect at Reviewer's United: - Engaging discussions on grant reviewing in this challenging climate - Networking with passionate professionals facing similar challenges - Tips for reading budgets and financial informaton - A conversation about bias and trust while reviewing proposals - Another edition of our popular "Feedback on the Feedback" series where we hear from organizations who have benefitted from our review. - Delicious empanadas! (It wouldn't be an Unfunded List even without great food) Whether you're a seasoned philanthropist, nonprofit leader, or just starting your journey in this field, your expertise and passion are needed now more than ever. I'm looking forward to a day filled with meaningful conversations, reunions, and most importantly, action. Let's come together to shape the future of philanthropy in these uncertain times. Register now to join us for this empowering experience. #DCPhilanthropy #NonprofitResilience #ReviewersUnited #PhilanthropyAction

I am looking forward to our event next month. Unfunded List has partnered with Spur Local to host a proposal reviewer training day for both of our reviewing committees on March 8th. The space is booked and the catering contract is signed. We will be covering a variety of topics ranging from budgets to biases. The event is free and available to members of both evaluation committees. Not a member yet? Not a problem. Join one or both committees and we'll be happy to have you. Spur Local's review period is this March. Unfunded List's review period is this April and May. You could be reviewing proposals all Spring and help dozens of nonprofits grow! DM me or comment below if you have any questions about the event or reviewing grant proposals.

Working on a grant proposal? You should send it to Unfunded List. The deadline is March 15th. https://lnkd.in/eRsb-8P
