How did philanthropy partner with providers on co-leading the city's pandemic response?
How did the Civic Response teams identify their greatest community needs, and what actions did they take to address them?
How have the Civic Response teams approached racial equity within their work?
How are the teams bridging between meeting immediate emergency needs and looking ahead for long-term systems change?

New Episode - How to Keep Learning During a Crisis?

When we're working through a crisis, like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it can feel overwhelming to consider how we can learn from what's happening around us. In this new podcast discussion, we go over the imperative of learning, especially during times of great upheaval, and what ways we can assess how we're doing and how to move forward.

In this episode, we hear from FSG''s Strategic Learning and Evaluation co-leads Hallie Preskill and Joelle Cook, who share advice, recommendations, and concrete ideas on how to continue to keep learning about how our collaborative work is going, even during times of prolonged crisis like the pandemic. Questions discussed include:

What core practices and techniques can help maintain learning during a crisis?
How can philanthropy support grantees' capacity for learning during the pandemic?
What happens if this idea of embedding learning isn't part of your collaborative''s culture? Where would you even start?
