If your nonprofit receives any sort of program-specific federal funding, you are likely subject to at least three levels of decision-making about that money and possibly more. If you don’t know exactly what the decision-making process looks like at all three levels – and how to influence it – you could be at risk of losing funding or having adverse decisions made about your funding without your knowledge or input.  Here’s a case where knowledge really is power.  

In this episode, we reveal:

• The two key elements of decisionmaking around federally-funded programs that most affect your program and the people you serve
• The most important set of rules and policies that can make or break your service-delivery model
• How to know when a decisionmaker is misleading you about who’s responsible for a decision
• The most critical decisions to pay attention to at the federal level, and how to do that without it turning into a full-time job
• Your best and most productive opportunities for influence at the federal, state and local levels
• Your secret weapon for staying on top of key developments and leveraging the knowledge of peers in other communities and states

If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I’d be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.

Thanks!
