This program is a part of our Midwest Partnership Series, a collaboration between Philanthropy Ohio, Indiana Philanthropy Alliance, Council of Michigan Foundations, Iowa Council of Foundations and Philanthropy Missouri. 

Explore how to redesign systems and align priorities when working within a small-staffed organization. Lean foundations balance the same goals as their larger counterparts – balancing strategic vision, grantmaking, board governance and more. But the approach and strategy to all parts of the work must be adjusted to reflect the capacity of smaller organizations. Gain insights and frameworks for action in this interactive session on navigating organizational change strategies as a lean foundation.   

What you’ll take away 

  • Strategies to prioritize your work to deliver greater impact. 
  • Insight on how to build practical operational systems. 
  • Guidance on how to set realistic expectations with partners and stakeholders.   

Who should attend 

  • Foundation staff in lean organizations.  
  • Corporate giving staff in small-staffed shops.
