  FPN is committed to convening and educating funders around public policy and advocacy, specifically so our member foundations better understand how the system works at both a federal and a Florida statewide level.

  We invite our members to participate in a training to learn the methods around advancing policy and advocacy, state laws, and ballot measures for tax-exempt organizations both from the federal and statewide perspective.

  The training, Florida Funders - Technical Assistance and Support, will convene funders across the state to learn from experts how to go beyond fundamental advocacy efforts. The objective is to provide federal and Florida-specific public policy and advocacy technical assistance relevant to Florida foundations' efforts in this space.

  Session supported through Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funding.

  • The training will be led by attorneys and experts in the field specific to Florida and Federal regulations.
  • Participants will utilize a groundbreaking new policy tool which will help them examine their policy work and how they can advance their efforts.
    
  • Attendees will have the opportunity for Q&A with the experts and networking/discussion with other attendees to find areas for collaboration and best-practice sharing.

  Join fellow FPN members engaged in grant management for a roundtable discussion to share best practices, discuss ways to work through challenges and find opportunities for deeper connection and collaboration. 

  Topics we plan to touch on include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • How do you effectively capture grantee budgets (formats and narratives)?
  • How do you incorporate reporting objectives into the design of your application questions? Could you be inadvertently impacting measurement outcomes?
  • Have recent government actions impacted your organization's grantmaking? If so, how?

  Please feel free to share any other specific topics or areas of interest prior to the meeting directly with Laura@fpnetwork.org.
