Shifting the Power: How Activists Are Redefining Power & Transforming Philanthropy
A joint town hall with our sister foundation Focus for Health, recorded live on June 2, 2021.
Business as usual in social impact funding is a story of ‘the tail wagging the dog.’ To work long-term on massive systemic injustices, many doers have been forced by the hand of wealth to fit their activism into paternalistic requirements dictated by philanthropists. For many movements, these unwieldy structures have not aligned with ways of working that keep collectives agile and accountable to their communities. This traditional paradigm is being disrupted—destroyed even—by visionary changemakers who no longer accept it. They build movements, not organizations. They build resource strategies, not grantwriting strategies.
