Funders want proof that you're effective. But most nonprofit data is anecdotal—a handful of stories, a few quotes, nothing that looks like evidence.

This workshop shows you how community feedback becomes fundable data. You'll learn what funders actually want to see, how to turn engagement into measurable outcomes, and how to tell a story with numbers that convinces boards and foundations.

What you'll learn

• What funders mean by "community engagement as an outcome" and how to document it (so it actually counts in your grant)

• How to extract data from community feedback that strengthens proposals—without manipulating responses or cherry-picking quotes

• How to position community input as evidence in grant narratives, board reports, and strategic plans

Who it's for: Development staff, grants writers, nonprofit leadership building funder relationships and demonstrating impact
