Our Work Member Briefings

MIF will help you produce programming that is of interest to you and like-minded funders.

Stay connected. Initiate and produce programming in collaboration with your peers—for your peers.

All members and supporters of Media Impact Funders have the opportunity to initiate and produce issue-related programming for their peers. These hour-long online briefings are meant to provide more time to learn from one another to maximize the impact of their work.

Frequently asked questions:

Who can sponsor a member briefing?
Any group consisting of three member organizations or two member organizations and a philanthropy serving organization (PSO) can present a Member Briefing proposal. One organization must be identified as MIF’s planning partner.

What assistance does MIF provide?

Once the proposal is accepted, Media Impact Funders will (at your request):

  • Provide consulting in planning the briefing
    • This includes providing recommendations for speakers and scheduling planning calls to get speakers aligned on content and logistics
  • Manage registration and other logistical support
    • If requested, we can produce a roster of registrants to share with participants
  • Promote the briefing to a targeted audience:
    • We’ll publicize the program for you in our monthly and member newsletters and on our website. We’ll also send an e-blast to our network list. You’ll have to provide us with a description of the briefing.
  • If you are interested in gaining feedback from the participants, we can help you design a survey

What’s the timeline for planning a member briefing?
Member Briefing proposals can be submitted year-round, and we’ll need an eight-week lead time to help you plan the program. If you want to hold a member briefing just after the presidential election, for example, you’ll need to submit your proposal by the beginning of September.

Is there a cost associated with member briefings?
This programming is free of charge. If there are any costs associated with a member briefing, the sponsors assume financial responsibility.

How do I submit a proposal?

Fill out this Google form. Please note: Member briefings require MIF’s final approval. We will determine whether we are the right partner and if our members are the right audience.

We’d love your feedback regarding the member briefing process. If there is something we could do better, let us know. Please direct your feedback to Roshni Melia at roshni@mediafunders.org.
