SUMMARY:NETWORKING – Coffee Chat: Nuts and Bolts of Grantmaking and Investing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF)\n\n\n\nThis informal\, unscripted morning session provides a space to connect with peers and discuss the tools needed to effectively implement funding programs and collaborations in the food and agriculture system space. How are you translating knowledge about critical issues in the food system into support of transformative change\, and moreover\, ensuring that your application and review processes and board are aligned with this work? \n\n\n\nThis session may be of special interest to those new to philanthropy and those from small-staffed foundations looking for additional peer support\, but all are welcome\, no matter how much of a novice or expert you might consider yourself to be in this space. Come share the tools in your toolkit\, discuss the stumbling blocks that are proving challenging\, offer your learning to your colleagues\, and make valuable peer connections to support you moving forward.  \n\n\n\nHosts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVirginia Clarke – Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders; CA\n\n\n\n\nVirginia Clarke is the executive director of Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF)\, a network of grantmakers working to strengthen connections\, build capacity\, and foster collaboration of the philanthropic and investment communities in support of vibrant\, healthy and just food and farm systems.
