Registration closes 11/6/26.About this EventNonprofit organizations often embark on capital projects with a strong vision and successful fundraising, yet still encounter budget shortfalls, scope reductions, or delivery challenges due to gaps in early project decision making. This workshop focuses on what must be resolved before design and construction begin, specifically how scope, budget, and risk are defined, aligned, and managed. Participants will gain a practical understanding of how total project costs are truly structured, including soft costs, permitting, site conditions, contingencies, and market factors that are frequently underestimated. The session introduces a clear framework for aligning program goals with realistic budgets early, helping organizations avoid late stage compromises and difficult trade-offs. It also clarifies when and how to engage key project partners, and how those decisions directly influence cost, schedule, and outcomes. Attendees will leave with a structured checklist and toolkit to support more informed decisions and stronger alignment between mission, funding, and final project delivery.Schedule:8:45 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. - Light Refreshments9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. - WorkshopFacilitator:Jenn StutlerQuestions:Please direct any questions to Ann Karwoski at AKarwoski@gulfcoastcf.orgParking Information:Please park in the State Street parking garage directly across the street from the Sarasota Philanthropy Center.There is two-hour street parking available along State Street, please be sure to carefully review all posted signage along the road. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/sarasota/vision-to-reality-navigating-scope-budget-and-risk-before-construction/100001989405195493 - **Event Categories**: workshops, charities - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Gulf Coast Community Foundation - Sarasota Philanthropy Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35, max: 35, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Sarasota - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: Gulf Coast Community Foundation - Sarasota Philanthropy Center - **lat**: 27.3358645 - **long**: -82.5395935 - **full address**: Gulf Coast Community Foundation - Sarasota Philanthropy Center, 1549 State Street, Sarasota, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Vision to Reality: Navigating Scope, Budget, & Risk before Construction - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/2fe6d0a596a366537bb95daad774e8abff72221fe8c7628e9752013584791b66-rimg-w1200-h600-dc787773-gmir.jpg?v=1779462357 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Vision to Reality: Navigating Scope, Budget, & Risk before Construction being held? - **A:** Vision to Reality: Navigating Scope, Budget, & Risk before Construction takes place on Mon, 09 Nov, 2026 at 09:00 am to Mon, 09 Nov, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Gulf Coast Community Foundation - Sarasota Philanthropy Center, 1549 State Street, Sarasota, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Vision to Reality: Navigating Scope, Budget, & Risk before Construction? - **A:** Vision to Reality: Navigating Scope, Budget, & Risk before Construction is organized by Invest In Incredible | Gulf Coast Community Foundation. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
