In the fall of 2019, five Action Teams of volunteers from FEAN membership assembled around practice areas chosen collaboratively by the FEAN members as areas most urgently in need of change: Strategy & Practice, Evaluators of Color, Knowledge Sharing, Global Challenges, and Collaboration & Partnership. Over the course of 2019 and 2020, the five teams developed products which propose tangible steps to make change in the field. The products were shared with the field in a webinar series with Grantmakers for Effective Organizations in 2021.
