PEAK2021 Grantmaking Conference

May 4 - 13, 2021 9:00am - 2:00pm

Exponent Partners will have a virtual booth at the PEAK 2021 Online conference from May 4-13, 2021. PEAK Grantmaking is a member-led organization that began in New York City with two grants managers meeting informally to discuss shared experiences at their foundations. Soon, they engaged other colleagues and, as membership grew, an open and participatory network developed. Today, PEAK Grantmaking is a vibrant member-led community of professionals who specialize in grants management for funding organizations. PEAK’s mission to advance grantmaking so grantmakers and grantseekers can best achieve their missions. Continuing PEAK’s 25-year commitment to centering equity and community, this year’s conference will focus on how to listen to communities, support adaptable communities, learn with our community, and create equitable community.

Join keynotes, breakouts, peer groups, and more, to learn how far the profession of grants management has come, including its growing influence and responsibility, critical work in this moment to meet the challenges of our day, and evolving role as a change leader in philanthropy.  PEAK2021 program helps tell the story of how grantmakers are:

  • Engaging with and investing in community by growing and supporting the capacity of nonprofit partners during this moment of national and international crisis
  • Building trusting relationships by listening and learning from grantees and community partners
  • Moving beyond diversity by creating more equitable practices within their institutions and by aligning actions with goals related to reducing bias and directing more funding and resources to community-led efforts and movements
  • Together creating the future of philanthropy, with BIPOC leaders leading the way

There’ll also be plenty of opportunities to connect with your peer community: Learn more about your local chapter, find an affinity group or community practice to join, or self-organize your own meet-up. Join a wellness activity, a musical performance, or a happy hour – we’ll have something for everyone!

Whether your organization’s entire mission is homeless services, or only one program your organization offers, finding a data management solution can be a challenge. Collecting complete and accurate Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data while also tracking data for your specific program is often done in two disparate systems creating dual entry for busy service providers. The HMIS Module allows users to track HMIS compliance data alongside day-to-day operational data in one place, ensuring less time is spent on data entry and more time is focused on your clients.

This webinar explores the new Exponent Case Management HMIS Module with a live demo plus Q & A .

Case Management Made HMIS Compliant

The Exponent Case Management (ECM) HMIS Module provides everything you need to send complete and accurate data to your local Continuum of Care (COC) for HMIS reports such as the Annual Performance Report (APR) and Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR).

From the data entry side, the accelerator includes HMIS assessments as well as processes to support best practices in case management including:

  • HUD Universal Assessment
  • HUD Program Assessment
  • Health Insurance Assessment
  • Non-Cash Benefits Assessment
  • Arizona Self-Sufficiency Matrix
  • Service Planning
  • Service Entry
  • Bed Nights

The Lundquists have appeared four times on the Philanthropy 50 list of top donors in America.

  • Supports public schools and good healthcare
  • Urges fellow big donors to support solutions that can be replicated across the nation and around the globe

  • Pursues advocacy and wants other donors to know that dollars alone do not accomplish what is needed today.
