We've all heard the phrase "there's strength in numbers" -- and many IDA programs have taken it to heart. Across the country, many programs have created IDA networks or collaborative partnerships in order to work more efficiently. In these models, a group of IDA providers work together to deliver services and share essential responsibilities such as account monitoring, reporting, fundraising, and more. This webinar will describe how AFI grantees have built strong networks, share lessons on the power of joining forces, and offer ideas for IDA providers interested in joining an existing network or starting a new one. This hour-long webinar will cover: - Establishing effective partnerships within a network - Reasons for creating or joining a network - Establishing policies and procedures for IDA network projects - Providing training to sub-grantees - Allocating funding based on program performance Presenters: • Mary O'Doherty, Economic Empowerment Project Director, Kentucky D! omestic Violence Association • Other speakers to be confirmed • Denise DeVaan, Senior Consultant, ICF International (moderator)
