Community foundations and other place-based funders operate in an environment that is dramatically different from the one in which many of their current practices and structures were developed. As a result, it will become increasingly important for community philanthropy leaders to ask whether the systems and practices they use today are the right ones for serving their community in the future.

To help funders adapt, the Monitor Institute (a part of Deloitte Consulting LLP’s Social Impact Practice) developed the What’s Next for Community Philanthropy toolkit—a set of interactive exercises, essays, and games designed to help community philanthropy organizations challenge old assumptions and imagine new possibilities for serving their communities. The toolkit was officially released in September 2014, and is already estimated to have been used by as many as 200 community foundation boards and staff around the United States and Canada.

In an effort to continue to share the What’s Next toolkit with the field and to help individual community foundations better apply the tools within their organizations, the Monitor Institute is co-hosting a series of train-the-trainer workshops that aim to build a cadre of skilled What’s Next facilitators in key regions across the United States. The interactive facilitator training workshops provide you with the knowledge and first-hand experience you need to effectively lead sessions using the What’s Next tools with the boards and staff of local community philanthropy organizations.

More specifically, the What’s Next for Community Philanthropy Facilitator Training workshop provides: (1) an overview of the core ideas and tools in the What’s Next toolkit; (2) the opportunity to practice adapting and facilitating the tools for customized use with funders in your area; and (3) helpful feedback and pointers from peers and skilled What’s Next trainers.

To give us a head start and make sure we can cover everything we need to, we are asking all participants to do approximately two hours of pre-work to get ready in advance of the session.  During the session itself, you  will be presenting and practicing with your peers, so it’s important to come fully prepared.
