Join us for the next Philanos Grantmakers Affinity Group on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, at 12 PM ET as we explore: Providing Feedback to Applicants.

• Does your giving circle provide feedback to grant applicants, particularly those who do not receive funding?

• What information do you share, and when and how do you communicate it?

• How do you make feedback constructive and useful while managing expectations and maintaining positive nonprofit relationships?

This session will focus on how giving circles approach providing feedback throughout the grantmaking process. We'll explore different practices, from communicating funding decisions to offering meaningful insights that help applicants strengthen future proposals.

Engage in an opportunity to compare approaches, learn from one another, and identify practical ideas that Philanos Affiliates can adapt to make their feedback processes more effective while strengthening relationships with nonprofit partners.

Come prepared to share: How does your organization provide feedback to applicants, what has worked well, and what challenges have you encountered?
