Managing risk and due diligence in a disaster context
2 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. CT
The Center for Disaster Philanthropy hosted a webinar to help grantmakers balance the IRS due diligence requirements for grants with the need to move swiftly and minimize the burden on grantee partners during a disaster.
Moderated by CDP’s Chief Financial Officer, Jennifer Commander, the panel discussed how foundations and other institutional donors can think differently about risk. Speakers explored the legalities of grantmaking, including what is and isn’t required and how simplifying the requirements can increase equity for communities of color.
CDP Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Commander moderated the discussion and panelists included:
- Remy Barnwell, Staff Counsel, Council on Foundations
- Katrina Julien, Senior Program Officer, Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta
- Audrey Kidwell, Grants Manager, CDP
This webinar was co-sponsored by Alliance Magazine, Giving Compass and PEAK Grantmaking.
