2025 Colorado Chapter Annual Meeting and Training: Navigating Shifts in Grant Funding

Friday, May 16, 2025 | 11 a.m.-2 p.m. | Virtual via Zoom | Free for members ($25 for non-members)

Join GPA's Colorado Chapter for a timely and engaging virtual session exploring the dynamic shifts in the grant funding landscape. 

As grant professionals continue to navigate evolving expectations from funders across sectors, our upcoming Chapter Meeting and Training will spotlight the ways funders are adapting their giving strategies. We'll hear from Brianna Hein, Vice President and Corporate Responsibility Officer at KeyBank, who will share insights into how banking institutions are approaching grantmaking at this moment. 

After the presentation and Q&A, attendees will participate in a facilitated peer discussion focused on broader funding changes, particularly within federal and state government and private philanthropy. This is a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow grant professionals, reflect on the changing funding landscape, and share strategies for adapting to shifting priorities. 

*Please note that this event will now be held virtually rather than in person. Registration link coming soon!
