Listening in this Moment Guide and Webinar Series
Leading a nonprofit right now means making critical choices: How do you center your community's voice without putting vulnerable people at greater risk? How do you navigate deep political divisions while staying true to your mission? If you're feeling the weight of these questions, you're not alone. Nonprofit leaders across the country are telling us they need new strategies for this unprecedented moment: ways to listen meaningfully, act thoughtfully, and protect the communities they serve.
In response to this critical need, we developed Listening in This Moment, a comprehensive resource suite specifically designed to support organizations navigating uncertainty while maintaining authentic community engagement.
The initiative launches with the Listening in This Moment Guide on October 15th, offering funders concrete strategies, real-world examples, and actionable frameworks for strengthening their listening practices with grantees and communities during volatile periods. This resource addresses the most common challenges funders face when seeking genuine feedback in high-pressure environments. We encourage you to sign up for our newsletter to receive a preview copy of the guide.
Building on this foundation, our three-part webinar series in November provides interactive learning opportunities that translate these concepts into practice. Participants will gain access to proven feedback methodologies, safety protocols for sensitive conversations, and facilitation tools that enable organizations to authentically center community voices even when operating under heightened uncertainty.
