When engagement budgets tighten, you know better than anyone that finding new ways to keep employees connected isn't easy. Your grants program offers a unique opportunity: inviting employees to participate in grant funding decisions. Giving employees a real voice in where your company invests can build a sense of ownership that drives internal support, retention and turns grantmaking into a shared mission.
Join us for a practical conversation with Abbey Lantinberg, Grants Program Officer at the Motorola Solutions Foundation, who leads a strategic grant review program that brings 200 employees into funding decisions each year. Abbey will share how inviting employees into the grantmaking process has built internal champions, deepened connections to giving and volunteering and expanded support for nonprofit partners - along with lessons learned along the way.
Join us to:
- Explore how connecting granting with employee giving and volunteering can strengthen employee engagement and expand support for your nonprofit partners
- Learn how the Motorola Solutions Foundation structures and continuously improves its employee grant review program as a model you can adapt for your own
- Discover how to avoid reviewer burnout while still getting thoughtful input on applications
- Walk away ready to design or refine a review program that keeps employees committed from sign-up through final decisions
