Closing the Capacity Gap: Funder Briefing & Roundtable

Join Catalyst Exchange and Blue Meridian Partners for a small-group conversation about the inaugural State of Capacity Building findings, and what they mean for how funders resource organizational capacity. Together, we’ll explore what the data tells us, where it challenges current practice, and what a stronger capacity-building ecosystem could look like.

A light breakfast will be served at 9 a.m., with the conversation beginning at 9:30.
