AdNet Presents: Place-Based Funder Collaboratives: A User's Manual

How do we fix the most critical issues in our community with grants of $5,000, $50,000, or even $500,000? No matter how hard we try, a few grants won't eradicate poverty. So, what do we do? Funder collaboratives--donors pooling dollars to make grants together--harness the potential for collective action to make meaningful change and amplify its impact on the ground. This session is a primer and how-to guide for starting and running place-based funder collaboratives and introduces a framework for collective decision-making across foundations, corporations, community foundations, and donor advisors.
