How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Collaborative Philanthropy for Collective Impactmethodology: collaborative philanthropyBy combining financial resources, expertise, and networks through collaborative funds, we generate greater social impact than isolated funding because shared infrastructure and aligned goals amplify reach and effectiveness.
- Intersectional Advocacy for Systemic Changemethodology: intersectional advocacyBy integrating multiple social justice issues—such as climate, labor, gender, and disability—into unified advocacy efforts, we produce broader systemic impact because overlapping inequities are addressed holistically rather than in isolation.
- Participatory Grantmaking with Community Leadershipmethodology: participatory_grantmakingBy involving community members and those with lived experience in grantmaking decisions, we produce more relevant and effective funding outcomes because community-led guidance ensures alignment with local needs and solutions.
