Join us for the next Philanos Grantmakers Affinity Group on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 12 PM ET as we explore: Training and Preparing Grant Reviewers.

• Do you offer your members training for reviewing grant applications?
  
• What does that training look like?
• What about evaluating budgets and financials - do you offer special training?
  

This session will focus on how giving circles prepare members to become thoughtful, confident, and effective grant reviewers. We’ll explore approaches to reviewer training, from orienting first-time participants to providing tools and guidance that support fair, consistent, and mission-aligned decision-making.

Engage in an opportunity to compare practices, learn from one another, and identify practical ideas that Philanos Affiliates can adapt to strengthen their own grant review process.

Come prepared to share: What does your organization do to prepare grant reviewers—and what remains challenging?
