RazorFest Leadership Network is for organizations who serve youth that have been an established 501(c)(3) for a minimum of three years. This series is for eight organizations who have been selected to receive a $15,000 matching grant from RazorFest.

RazorFest Leadership Network focuses on the themes of collaboration and community organizing. Grant recipients develop their funding project during this series. This series marches towards RazorFest—a collective organizing experience where each of the partner organizations showcases its project at this event.

This series focuses on mobilizing community support for organizational projects. Each series is developed sequentially, connecting and building on previous sessions. We will discuss themes such as “Developing Your Case for Support” and “Expanding Resources for Your Program.” Each topic will be viewed through the lens of community organizing. We do the work of community organizing in this series. RazorFest is the peak experience where all of our projects converge to create a day where the community comes together to celebrate kids. We are people powering change. This is the work we do together in RazorFest Leadership Network.

We highly encourage you to bring others who are involved in the organization (board member, staff member, key volunteer). Team learning increases organizational learning and energizes ideas and relationships for your organization.
