Are you frustrated with the inefficiency in the grant application and reporting processes? How about your funders? The Association of Fundraising Professionals and the Grants Managers Network together with six other prominent philanthropic and nonprofit organizations are working to develop standards for the documentation required in these processes. A recently commissioned research report on current practice identifies issues and highlights specific areas for improvement. During this interactive session, participants will review the results of this research, hear from grantmakers about their processes, provide input from their own experience, and consider recommendations for improving grantmaking practice.
