Lynch Foundation
A foundation sought an assessment of their grantmaking focus, the surrounding landscape, and potential strategies for impact, and reviewed the analysis at a facilitated board retreat.
Get the most out of your time together. Make decisions, explore family values, and move forward. We provide structure and objective guidance.
We provide retreat and meeting facilitation services that take into consideration the needs and culture of each foundation and each person at the table. Some of the things we can help you accomplish during your time together:
A skilled facilitator can efficiently move the board through a particular transition or strategic question, or to build consensus around a new direction.
At times, you need someone who can provide the right amount of structure for board members to spend time in open-ended conversation, have fun with one another and be inspired so that the “work” of the foundation can move forward with renewed passion and excitement.
Board dynamics can be complicated. Sometimes you need an outsider that can gently navigate those tricky areas that threaten to hinder the good work you are trying to do.
