Learning Series: Data Governance Best Practices for Grantmakers Pt. 2
June 24, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Eastern Time
How can grantmakers share and use data responsibly without compromising trust, security, or mission?
Join the Technology Association of Grantmakers (TAG) for a dynamic fireside chat with sector leaders on building trust-based data-sharing practices that are both effective and secure. As organizations increasingly rely on grantee data to power tools like dashboards and AI-enabled solutions, the need for clear, intentional data-sharing agreements has never been more critical.
Through a peer case study from the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, we’ll explore how one organization has approached data-sharing and governance in a thoughtful, trust-centered way. The discussion will highlight practical considerations, tradeoffs, and lessons learned, along with a clearer view of the required time, resources, and cross-functional coordination.
Whether you’re beginning to explore data-sharing or formalizing existing practices, this session will offer a practical framework for approaching this work with clarity, care, and accountability.
