Roundtable

How can you use research data and statistics to make your organization’s case and in crafting proposals?  The program will not only focus on how to use/incorporate this information effectively, but also on how funders typically interpret stats, charts, data or quotes from studies.  The conversation will be led by two professionals who come to the issue from different angles. Can statistics be an effective part of storytelling? And what happens when a funder looks at research study data in a proposal? 

Kathy Swayze, CFRE, President of Impact Communications will talk about how she helps organizations to incorporate data, statistics, etc. into direct mail copy and brochure language.  Bob Wittig, Executive Director of the Jovid Foundation, will take up the issue from the funder’s perspective.  He will help participants to bear in mind what foundations actually think when they read research data or poll statistics in a letter or proposal.  How do you think they react?  Are they skeptical? Do they trust it?  What makes it compelling or not?  Come to May’s Roundtable and find out!
