Impactful Storytelling: Using Data to Tell Stories of Change
You’re invited to join this virtual gathering hosted by the CMF Learning & Evaluation peer community, open to all CMF members. Together we'll learn about and explore ideas for collecting data and using data in storytelling, and we’ll hear how other organizations have told stories of impact using data. We’ll also discuss trust-based evaluation approaches to gather meaningful qualitative and quantitative data while thoughtfully reducing the lift on nonprofit partners. This session features expert insights from a research, strategy and evaluation consulting firm and foundation peers, with ample opportunity for Q&A.
TANF Innovations: Exploring Flint's Rx Kids
The Safety Net work group, in partnership with the Governor's Office of Foundation Liaison and the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, is hosting a virtual convening with leaders and learners across the state to hear from Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and Luke Shaefer, Ph.D., about the Flint Rx Kids program. The program is leveraging Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and philanthropic support to guarantee an income every month for an infant's first year for all expectant families in the city of Flint. Join us and learn more about this innovative approach to deploying TANF funding.
Making the Case for Trust-Based Philanthropy: An Equity Signature Series Workshop
As trust-based philanthropy gains recognition across the sector, more funders, individual donors and grantmaking professionals are getting curious about this as an approach to alleviate power imbalances and advance community impact. While many leaders and practitioners have a base-level understanding of why trust-based philanthropy is the way to go, many are still grappling with how to make the case to their peers. This can be especially challenging given the range of misperceptions, critiques and questions that come up for those who are less familiar with trust-based philanthropy.
