“Funders: Follow the frontline leaders. [...] Their holistic approach aligns with people’s lived experience. [...] Community-led problem-solving is tailored to the local context and garners more buy-in. And the ‘ecosystem’ approach enables community groups to broaden their base of support, nurture reciprocal relationships, and build a stronger, more adaptable movement ecosystem.” [more] ([link removed])
– Shamar Bibbins, The Kresge Foundation

“Grantmakers are increasingly recognizing that social change requires an investment in technology. Yet, as the pandemic has taught us, it will take more than tools alone – the collective strength of civil society depends on building the digital capacity of both funders and their nonprofit partners.” [more] ([link removed])

Rarely do the two sides interact, and when they do, their work is often seen in tension. What if we brought these two sides of the house into deeper inquiry together about the choice to protect fiscal growth over mission impact?” [more] ([link removed])
– Pia Infante, The Whitman Institute
