Leslye Louie, Civic Ventures

Session Description

One option for taking great ideas to scale is a network approach, where a nonprofit develops a strong program model and high-quality open-sourced tools that support program creation and operation, financial models, partnerships and evaluation, and then engages partners to replicate the program and adapt it for their communities’ unique needs. Drawing on the experiences of the Civic Ventures Encore Fellowships Network, which has expanded to six states in less than 18 months using a network approach, this interactive panel session will delve into the network model for scaling up and the different roles grantmakers can play.
