There seems to be so much to do with not enough resources when it comes to leading a nonprofit. Join DANA CEO, Sheila Bravo as she provides an overview on how to connect funding allocations to the most impactful initiatives. Referencing Steve Zimmerman and Jeanne Bell’s book The Sustainability Mindset, Bravo will walk participants through the templates and other resources how to take these concepts and apply them within their organization. 

This workshop will cover:

• Gain insight on how to use the online tools in The Sustainability Mindset as well as other free resources DANA offers for measuring outcomes. 
• Tips for connecting these concepts with your own internal tracking of financials and outcome measures.
