When the full scale of the economic crisis began to emerge late last fall, foundations wrestled with what to say to grantees and other community stakeholders. In this environment, we began to see a new level of interest and understanding among foundation leaders for building communications capacity—in ways that can change the conversation between foundations and all of their stakeholders.
Outreach 2010 was created in response to that new interest.
This fall Marcia Sharp of Millennium Communications Group and PAI developed and field-tested a learning and planning workshop and tools with three regional associations of grantmakers—the Connecticut Council for Philanthropy, the Maine Philanthropy Center, and the Ohio Grantmakers Forum. An additional workshop was convened by the Conference of Southwest Foundations. The workshop and tools are designed to help foundation CEOs, trustees and key staff communicate more effectively with grantees, community leaders and policy makers during the economic downturn.
We are now exploring ways to bring the workshop and tools to a broader group of foundation and philanthropy association leaders.
