Investing in Financial Fitness: Capitalizing for Long-term Health
GIA will host “Investing in Financial Fitness: Capitalizing for Long-term Health” on Tuesday, June 13 at 2:00pm EDT / 11:00am PDT. Since 2010, GIA has led “Conversations on Capitalization and Community” to encourage funders to implement more effective grantmaking practices that support financial stability and success in their grantees and in the arts community. These workshops have stimulated discussions about the kinds of money that organizations need most to manage uncertainty and risk and to pursue opportunities for change. Join Rebecca Thomas, principal and founder of RTA and facilitator of GIA’s capitalization workshops, for a webinar on the fundamentals of investing in your grantees' financial fitness.
