Drawing lessons from our work with community partners and collaborators, NABC invites B3/nonprofit leaders, funders, evaluation practitioners, and community leaders to examine and understand the current funding and evaluation relationships; and explore ways to take concrete steps to improve funding and evaluation relationships between funders and B3s/nonprofits to produce better outcomes for communities. 

After participating, you will be able to:

• Examine, reflect, and validate NABC’s lessons learned and perspectives
• Develop a deeper understanding of current funding and evaluation relationships 
• Explore action steps that can improve funding and evaluation relationships to produce better outcomes for communities
