Community-driven social change flourishing under trust-based philanthropy .
About
Welcome to fundSHIFT, where we're lighting up the way for impact leaders to forge promises and create change. Our participatory workshops offer a unique opportunity for nonprofit leaders and philanthropists to connect authentically and shift relationships towards greater transparency, co-creation, and shared power.
We understand that the current fundraising and fund-giving landscape has its shortcomings, and we aim to address these issues head-on. At fundSHIFT, we believe in creating a safe space for participants to explore new ideas and co-create action plans to reimagine philanthropy. Our sessions provide an opportunity to identify concrete solutions that will bridge the gap that plagues the current space of philanthropy.
We're proud to be an initiative of Little Big Fund, an organization that shares our passion for creating a more equitable world. Our goals are simple: to offer a safe space for nonprofit leaders and funders to connect at a deeper level without the expectation of asking for or giving money, and to co-create solutions that will further bridge the gap in the philanthropic landscape.
Join us in this movement towards greater transparency, co-creation, and shared power. Let's reimagine philanthropy together.
fundSHIFT Values:
Transparency: we value openness and honesty in all communications between funders and fundees.
Equity: we believe in creating a level playing field by discussing steps to reduce systemic barriers presenting the flourishing of relationships between funders and fundees.
Empathy: we recognize that both funders and fundees face unique challenges and have their own perspectives and needs. We build trust and understanding between these groups, fostering more effective collaborations.
Call-in versus Call-out: we believe in calling people into a conversation about equity, transparency and systemic change in the social impact sector.
