Join us for a FREE introductory training by Hopeworks in trauma-informed practices!

Fiscal sponsors have emerged as a catalyst for social change and a home for leaders, often representing marginalized histories, to pursue their purpose and mission. As a result many of those driving projects and served by projects come from a place of social and psychological trauma, both individual and collective.

These traumas show up in day-to-day management in a variety of ways, often as well-grounded resistance to legal, bureaucratic, and other administrative structures. Challenges to compliance with management policies or even to making progress toward mission can be the result of unacknowledged trauma. Today more than ever, fiscal sponsors need to embrace and develop trauma-informed approaches to co-managing with their projects. Join us for an introduction to trauma-informed practice and a conversation about its application to fiscal sponsorship.

Hopeworks, a community-based nonprofit based in Camden, NJ, will provide a interactive and engaging trauma-informed care training for our member conversation time. The training helps folks better support individuals that have experienced high levels of stress and trauma.

This conversation may be of particular interest to relationship managers at fiscal sponsors.
