Managing Partner at @1892consult, helping you invest in the best grants management practices so you have more time to focus on your grantmaking and grantees.

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

There's so much more to see tomorrow from @rsmith1892 and @TraceChen at #FluxxCon2022!

[1892 consulting @1892consult]

So much excitement following this morning's #FluxxCon2022 session where @shaadys, Emma at Wildcard Giving, and @rvans talked about how our team built @TrustBasedPhil practices into @fluxxlabs! We are looking forward to sharing more at tomorrow's sessions

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

So dreamy.

I got this email from a funder who gave automatic increases to their grantees to adjust for inflation. Thank you! 🥰

Funders: inflation has been brutal on nonprofits. Please increase your current and future grants to account for it.

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

Hope you will follow along and share your thoughts!

[1892 consulting @1892consult]

As June comes to an end, @rvans provides reflections on the changes we are experiencing in our country while our team busts myths around advocacy grants and shares tips & tricks to streamline your grantmaking.

Such an honor to participate in this conversation and incredibly excited for the future of the grants management profession as the ever-present innovator and disrupter in philanthropy.

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

Thank you to @afua_bruce and @amyrsward for helping me understand our work through this identity.

@TrustBasedPhil @Alliancemag @phipster @HeadwatersmtCEO @PiaVision @durfeeLA A special thank you for sneaking in this priceless video. https://t.co/LgpFZOoDco

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

Appreciate @mellemelb sharing advice she received to "be willing to risk my privilege as a funder." Echos this @ProfessorCrunk quote that I often reflect upon: “the hardest part about white privilege is that you actually then have to give something up.” #PEAK2022online

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

I am so thrilled to have Tracy Chen and Kayla Cook on our 1892 consulting team!

"Be clear as a leader of a foundation of the value that every BODY brings to the mission. Power is to be shared by everyone in the foundation." Perfectly said, @darrenwalker @PEAKgrantmaking #PEAKis25

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

Join us to celebrate PEAK's 25th Anniversary and hear from foundation leaders who know the value of strategic grants management professionals.

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

While there's much bigger news @CandidDotOrg today, (Congrats, @annmei!), I'm also rather excited to see @PackardFdn using the GuideStar nonprofit profile to collect demographic data. Thanks for stepping up & encouraging peer fdns to do the same! https://t.co/Tw84F5OMlh

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

@SaraLeeeDeee @Grant_Advisor @tagtechorg Completely agree! There has to be more overlap, especially if you can segment by grant type. We did learn that the 39% does not include organization profile information. Ready to dig into the details!!

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

Really interested to see the details on the 39% of overlap of the #100Forms100Days from @Grant_Advisor @tagtechorg. Foundations are ready to change - this data analysis is the much needed evidence to make the case to foundation staff and leadership!

[Nichelle @nichelleodrama]

It's wild how many young folks of color know and understand the workings of non-profits, but not philanthropic foundations. The inaccessibility is outrageous and contributes to how white the philanthropic sector is.

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

Come join our 1892 consulting team as a Grants Management Consultant! https://t.co/vJF3DAh6yl

[Dana Schmidt @DanaSchmidt33]

Anything opaque about working with foundations you wish you understood?

Things you wish you knew before you started working in philanthropy?

Other ideas you want me to opine on?

I'm gearing up to write another series of essays–your queries may feature in a future essay!

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

I hope you will join us to celebrate @PEAKgrantmaking's 25th Anniversary with this stellar CEO Panel: Grants Professionals as Change Agents for Operationalizing Equity https://t.co/5WLZtXNThd

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

So many great points here to reflect upon as you strive to become an accountable grantmaker. Thank you for writing this important piece, @es_campanita.

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

Finally got around to reading this. So many good points about how to become an accountable grantmaker. My favorite quotes are below.

[Rebecca Van Sickle @rvans]

"You can start small by increasing flexibility for grantees around deadlines and reporting to prioritize what you can learn through deeper relationships with them."
