About this event
This cohort will connect foundation programmatic leaders with a supportive group of peers to learn about the art and science of partnering with intermediary organizations. Participants will grapple with the opportunities and challenges that working with intermediaries presents — from increasing impact through pooled funding, to the potential challenges of making the case internally and externally for collaborative efforts.
The virtual sessions will include presentations of research on intermediaries and data-backed practices, funder examples, guest speakers, and structured time for discussion, reflection, and peer-supported learning and coaching.
The utility and success of the learning cohort depends on meaningful participation from each member. So that we can foster a strong group, have fruitful conversations, and best support members in their work, we ask that each participant join with the intention of attending each of the sessions.

Participants need a reliable internet connection, the Zoom app, and the ability to join from an individual computer to engage with the group for the duration of 2-hour sessions. CEP is committed to making cohorts a welcoming and accessible space, please contact us if you require accommodations.
Because group interaction is a key element of the cohort, we request that registrants join with the intention of attending all sessions. Please contact us before registering if you anticipate conflicts with any of the session dates.
