As funders, what do we see as the purpose of capacity building, and how do we leverage capacity-building support to foster effective, sustainable and equitable organizations? How do we honor grantees' perspectives and preferences, while also ensuring they have the support needed to reach their full potential? How do we effectively support grantees that have very different needs and contexts? Join our funder panel for a candid and reflective conversation as we discuss our experiences and insights in shaping our capacity-building efforts to be effective, grantee-driven and equity-centered.
