part virtual workshop series titled The Future of

Tech in Philanthropy: Building a Robust Digital In-

frastructure with TAG and Tech Futurists, on Dec. 1.

dress the nal key principle for social justice work:

developing a shared vision. Attendees will join

representatives from the Technology Association of

Grantmakers and the Tech Futurists, who will discuss

how members of the philanthropic and technology

sectors can work to enhance the nonprot tech user

experience and put equity at the forefront. They will

look at how emerging tech can play a role in this new

infrastructure and also ensure it is built in an ethical

and equitable way. Speakers at this event will include:

• Sam Caplan, from the Technology Association

of Grantmakers,

Making the Most of Organizational

Assessments workshop

PEAK Grantmaking will host a workshop titled

Making the Most of Organizational Assessments:

Lessons from Funders and Grantees on Dec. 2 at

2:00 p.m. EST.

According to organizers, as we navigate the chal-

lenges of the ongoing pandemic, the organizational

health of nonprots is more important than ever. To

that end, a recent “landscape scan” of organizational

assessment tools, conducted by the Hewlett Foun-

dation and Informing Change, found that the tool

mattered less than the process, intentions and players

involved in organizational assessment.

This workshop will examine key lessons from the

landscape scan, drawing on rsthand experience of

the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust and its grantee

partner City Year, looking specically at why Ein-

horn Family Charitable Trust chose the Performance

Practice tool (formerly PIOSA) as its assessment tool,

how they structure the process with grantees, what

worked well for City Year and what advice they have

for other grantmakers.

Attendees should come away with a deeper and

more nuanced understanding of how funders can

more effectively incorporate organizational assess-

ment tools and processes to support stronger grantee

organizations.

Speakers will include:

• Tina Cheplick, Informing Change,

• Lucie Addison, Einhorn Family Charitable

Trust,

• Jennifer Wei, the William and Flora Hewlett

Foundation and

• Duke Guthrie, City Year.

Registration fees for this event range up to $55.
