The Feedback Crash Course
The June Feedback Crash Course marks an important evolution in how Feedback Labs supports nonprofit and philanthropic leaders—and it starts with listening. In direct response to participant feedback, this iteration of the Crash Course is more intentionally designed around the cohort experience. While participants will still gain practical tools to design high-quality, equitable feedback loops, they will also build meaningful relationships with peers across organizations who are navigating similar challenges. This June also introduces a new opportunity: discounted, one-on-one coaching sessions with Feedback Labs staff, giving participants tailored support to refine their feedback strategies and apply them in real time.
The Crash Course has always been grounded in helping organizations move from theory to action—but over time, it has grown into a more holistic learning journey. What began as a foundational training has expanded to include continued engagement and accountability. Three months following the Crash Course, participants reconvene for the Cohort Reunion to share progress, troubleshoot challenges, and learn from one another’s experiences. This extended arc recognizes that building strong feedback practices—and cultures of listening—takes time, iteration, and support.
Across four virtual sessions, participants will explore the core elements of strong feedback practice, apply them to their own challenges, and leave with a customized, actionable roadmap. Register by June 2, 2026 to join the June cohort!
Listen to Community: A (Continuing) Conversation
Six months ago, Feedback Labs, in partnership with Listen to Community, hosted a rich, honest conversation between funders and nonprofits, sparked by the powerful reflections of grassroots community leaders featured in the film, Listen to Community: Community Conversations. Participants made it clear: this conversation isn’t just necessary, it’s urgent.
This follow-up gathering will dive deeper into the realities, tensions, and opportunities shaping relationships between funders, nonprofits, and the communities they seek to serve. We are reconvening to build, repair, and strengthen these relationships in a moment when trust, responsiveness, and community voice matter more than ever.
Join us on June 23 at 12 pm EST as we continue the conversation together.
