Exploration of the new Skills and Competencies required for high impact Philanthropy

Anil has been timeraising for over a decade. In that time he has written, reviewed and reported on 1,500 proposals and reports in support of civic engagement. Having perspective from both sides of the philanthropic table, Anil is deeply interested in digital habits that allow individuals, organizations and movements to share more effortlessly and effectively.

Measuring What Matters…

Evaluation is an opportunity to learn and evolve as an organization. This means gathering information to better understand the impact (often unintended) of your work.  Asking the right questions, developing tools to gather information and knowledge exchange are all part of producing credible, relevant data.
 
Networking with a Decision Makers- Network and chat directly with a funder, and have your questions answered on the spot.
