Congratulations to the Skoll World Forum team for another successful event, and to the 2022 Skoll Awardees! Black Fox Philanthropy would like to thank everyone who attended our live webinar on Friday, April 8, Ecosystem Day, during the Skoll World Forum to share how we take the guesswork out of fundraising efforts. The webinar, Fundraising Roadmap: Demystifying the Complexities in the Funder Ecosystem, may be viewed here.
The webinar supported the 2022 virtual Skoll World Forum theme, “Face/Forward,” which focused on learning from past experiences while continuing to progress and thrive. Black Fox Philanthropy is a long-standing contributor to the Skoll Community, and we have been inspired by the way this community has risen to the needs of the times with grace and resilience.
If you are reading this as a team member at a foundation or fiscal sponsor, we encourage you to share this information with the organizations you support. Being open source is a core value at Black Fox Philanthropy, and this webinar is an opportunity for us to pull back the curtain and transparently share what we do.
About the April 8 Masterclass
The 60-minute Masterclass was designed to help organizations be more strategic and effective in securing funding by providing a roadmap of approaches, complexities, and diversity in the funder ecosystem. Black Fox Philanthropy’s Director of Advancement, Catherine Olteanu, Community Relationship Officer at Mortenson Family Foundation, Danyelle O’Hara, and Black Fox Fellow and Vice Chair of the Boston Women’s Fund, Akosua Ampofo Siever, shared best practices for advancing relationships with funders in a complex and increasingly diverse ecosystem.
As part of our commitment to you and your fundraising success, the session featured actionable insights designed to move your work forward in 2022 and beyond.
As always, feel free to reach out if we can support your mission through fundraising core services, including serving as an extension of your team in engaging funder candidates.
