Sign Up: A Workshop Series for Navigating Major Funding Loss

[Educopia Communications]

Hello all, 

[Apologies for cross-posting, you might see this message on other lists you're subscribed to].

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 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.

Sign up via Eventbrite!

What you’ll get access to:
A full suite of practical tools, ready to apply to your context:

1. Funding Runway Calculator to assess how much time you truly have
2. Stakeholder & Community Mapping Worksheets
3. Revenue Stream Map + Funder Prospecting Guide
4. Funding Timeline Tool to sequence next steps
5. Case-for-Support Template for new or revised funding pitches
6. Contingency & Wind-Down Budget Templates
7. Asset Disposition + Transition Team Planning Templates
8. Communications Sequencing Tool for clear and transparent messaging
9. Legacy Planning Guidance for documenting impact and preserving your work

You and your peers will receive:

• Applied exercises to adapt each tool to your organization
• Real-world examples from organizations who’ve pivoted or closed with integrity
• Peer learning and shared problem-solving inside a confidential cohort
• Optional one-on-one consulting to turn your workshop outputs into actionable plans

4 weeks. 4 structured sessions. Every step guided: 

• Session 1 (Jan 26): Framing & Runway Assessment
  Map your financial reality, stakeholders, and options with the runway calculator + community mapping tools.
  
  
• Session 2 (Feb 2): Pivoting to Sustainability
  Explore revenue scenarios and build a “good enough to try, safe enough to fail” proposal using the prospecting guide, timeline tool, and case-for-support template.
  
  
• Session 3 (Feb 9): Responsible Wind Down / Contingency Planning
  Develop or refine your wind-down or contingency plan with templates for budgets, asset disposition, and transition team structure.
  
  
• Session 4 (Feb 16): Communications & Legacy
  Create clear internal and external messaging using the sequencing tool, and plan for legacy documentation that supports your field.

By the end, our aim is that you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of your financial runway and strategic options, practical tools to assess assets and opportunities, a tailored fundraising or contingency plan, communications guidance that reduces confusion and builds trust. and stronger alignment across your team during a moment that can otherwise fracture it. If you’re facing the loss of a major grant or key funding stream, we hope this series gives you a structured, compassionate, and expertly guided path forward, with the tools you need to navigate uncertainty with steadiness and care.

We hope to see you there!
