#ParticipatoryGrantmaking

In 2023 we piloted a #ParticipatoryGrantMaking round with young disability justice activists in Tanzania.

A strong case against pitch-based funding competitions. Is the problem pitching ideas, or who decides what to fund, or both?

Curious what #ParticipatoryGrantmaking & #ParticipatoryBudgeting folks think. @PGMcomm @pb_scotland @UKPBNetwork @participatory

Whose Dollars Are These Anyway? Foundations Rethink Their Model Foundations represent more than $1 trillion in invested assets, yet are required to give away only 5% of their assets to charity every year. What are they doing with the other 95%?

Grantmaking only touches 5% of foundation funds. Want to transform the other 95%? Read this excellent explainer from @oscarthinks @NextCityOrg! Learn why OCIOs matter so much (and who they are).

Foundations, it’s time to stop using grant applications to distribute funding Hi everyone. Today’s post will be long and serious. But before we get into it, here are ways you can...

Bold idea for foundations: Get rid of grant applications.

They're systemically inequitable.

They waste organizations' time & are rigged against people of color.

Use #participatorygrantmaking or #participatorybudgeting instead.

Thx @NonprofitAF!
