Impact House

Forefront's MSI is hosting a webinar. Sharing Space for Greater Impact on February 20m 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. Offices, classrooms, clinics, performance spaces – for many nonprofits, physical space is a key part of mission fulfillment, and it’s often one of the largest single costs in an organization’s budget. Partnering with other organizations can be an effective way to gain access to needed space at a lower cost while leveraging many of the benefits of collaboration. Learn from four panelists about three different models of expanding nonprofit impact by sharing space. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gx_X4Z5y

I’ll be joining Richard Carder, Director of Data Strategies and Insights at The Richard L. Duchossois Foundation, for a deep dive into how grantmakers can work with data - starting with strong foundations and moving toward AI-driven insights. From strategic data collection to leveraging AI for narrative analysis, we'll explore how philanthropy can move beyond organizing information to using data to make change. I'm looking forward to an engaging conversation with Rich and the amazing funders in the room. If you're attending, let’s connect! And if you’re curious about the discussion, I’d love to hear your thoughts—how is your foundation using data to drive strategy?
