Key takeaways from the conference:

Employee engagement benchmarking.

Successful employee assistance programs can see up to 70% engagement rates when it comes to employee participation. This can be reached through strategic internal marketing and employee giving campaigns.

Your fund's grant application experience matters.

The grant application process must be turn-key and easy for the applicant to understand. Having an applicant support system in place plays a key role in increasing grant approval rates.

Technology reporting tools are critical to fund success.

Having access to real time diagnostic tools is a game changer when it comes to growing your fund. It is important to continuously monitor program performance and use data to assess and drive decisions for improvement.
