PFS2105. Evaluating Sustainability - Shaping Expectations in the Wake of a Pandemic

While reviewing grantees' financials and operations in the coming months, when should you be more curious or cautious? Timing might be challenging to determine.

• Identify yellow and red flags when evaluating grantees
• Describe how funders are incorporating non-financial metrics such as diversity and inclusion, environmental and social governance practices, and more
