Webinar Description: As grantmaking organizations plan their operational strategy for 2021, staff and trustees face many of the same questions and decisions from previous years but are discovering that the answers have changed amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Join us as we discuss key areas connected to your long-term planning that may be impacted by the events of 2020. We will take a deep dive into the impact of recent events on staff compensation and HR procedures, how to evaluate existing spending policies and investment strategies (and advisors) in the face of economic uncertainty, and planning for operational and grantmaking strategies to adapt to the long-term needs of the foundation and its grantees.
