Hello all,
[Apologies for cross-posting, you might see this message on other lists

A major funding loss can rattle even the most mission-aligned
organizations. Suddenly the future feels uncertain: Do you wind down?
Bridge to new funding? Scale back to what’s essential? These aren’t just
financial decisions, they’re strategic, emotional, and deeply tied to your
work and people. Educopia’s Loss of Primary Source of Funding Workshop
Series <https://educopia.org/blog/loss-of-funding-workshop-series/> is
designed to meet you and your team in that moment with structure, clarity,
and community. This four-session workshop gives you every tool, framework,
and support resource you need to make grounded decisions instead of rushed
ones.
