October Call: Collective Action Discussion!

Created September 15, 2025

Beyond Survival: Advocacy and Accountability in Times of Political Upheaval

What individuals, networks, and associations must do now to defend grantmaking and community resources.

Monday, Oct 6, 10:00-11:30 am PT / 12:00-1:30 pm CT / 1:00-2:30 pm ET

Who’s fighting for you when funding is under attack? Grant pros can’t sit on the sidelines while our work and communities are under attack. Join our October session to swap strategies, hear a real advocacy case study, and chart what we can do now.

Funding streams are shifting, programs are under threat, and the role of grant professionals has never been more urgent or impacted. Join us for our October session, blending community conversation, a case study on advocacy within the Grant Professional Association, and practical strategies for taking action. Together, we’ll explore what advocacy looks like at the personal, collective, and professional levels, and how we can hold our institutions (and ourselves) accountable in turbulent times.
