To development decision makers out there who want their organisations to be more financially stable and viable (and for grantmakers who want to foster that sustainability as well): Fathom Performance IS HOSTING A FREE WEBINAR! As a part of Global Evaluation Initiative's gLocal event in June, I will be running a workshop on financial viability and sustainability in the development sector. This webinar is for any decision maker who would like to lessen their organisation's dependency on (often volatile) grant funding cycles to keep their doors open. How can stronger evaluation practice and other strategies untether your organisation from the tenuous grant-funding cycle that demands huge administrative cost and mission-obscuring adherence to current funding priorities? And grantmakers, what options do you have for lessening dependency and strengthening the sector to be less reliant and better equipped to create sustainable change? Join this action-based, put-into-practice practical workshop to find out!
