"This is by far the best grantmakers session I've attended. The focus on healthcare in today's economy was awesome. The participants' honesty about how the economic crisis has impacted their roles as healthcare grantmakers and the specifics behind the mechanics of what they do and how they do it."

"The most effective part for me was hearing directly and candidly from a program officer at a foundation that we are approaching. It was of course also useful to get a sense of the overall trends in foundation giving at the moment. What I like best about these sessions is that they humanize program officers, who can seem a bit intimidating when you are new to institutional giving and considering approaching a foundation cold!" Beth Gerbe, NYC Outward Bound Center - Long Island City
