Facilitating and Evaluating Impact


No matter how stellar your foundation team is, you’ll face days where you feel completely overwhelmed. Perhaps time is passing too quickly as you prepare to launch or evaluate your new grants initiative…or aren’t sure if you are asking the right questions to get to impact. Or your board is facing generational succession or a critical change, and could benefit from a seasoned facilitator to guide sensitive conversations, strategic planning and organized events, such as a retreat.

Strategic giving is complex, takes time, and warrants an all-hands-on-deck approach. CivicAIM enhances your capacity, bringing an additional layer of sophistication and strategy to your grantmaking, your board, and your community impact.
