SUMMARY:Navigating "By-Invitation-Only" Funders
DESCRIPTION:Funders share focus area guidelines so grantseeking organizations can hone in on prospective funding partnerships. But even if a perfect match exists\, some funders don’t accept unsolicited proposals which presents a particular challenge for new or small charities. In this session\, experienced fundraisers will share ideas for breaking through with funders offering “by-invitation-only” funding opportunities\, and funders will discuss their policies. The panel will also explore “by-invitation-only” funding opportunities in light of current DEIA conversations. \nPanelists: \nDonald A. Cooke\, Senior Vice President\, Philanthropy\, Robert R. McCormick Foundation \nSunny Fischer\, Former Executive Director\, The Richard Driehaus Foundation \nIna Owens\, Vice President\, Government\, Corporate and Foundation Relations / The Bethany Fund\, Advocate Aurora Health \nDiane Pascal\, Philanthropy Consultant \nModerator: \nCharles Katzenmeyer\, Vice President\, Institutional Advancement\, Field Museum

SUMMARY:Placing Our Bets: Future-Forward Innovations to Ignite Advancement for Chicago Students

SUMMARY:Candid Office Hours: Sharing Grants Data
DESCRIPTION:Do you have questions about sharing grants data? On Thursday\, April 28\, Candid will host an open “office hour” session for funders who have questions about sharing grants data\, such as: “How do I code my grants data for population served?
