Better Funding

Better Funding is a collaborative initiative transforming the philanthropic sector through trust and equity. We challenge traditional funding models and champion a new paradigm: one that empowers grassroots organizations and fosters sustainable community-led change. We believe that strong, values-aligned partnerships between funders and grantees are essential. That's why we provide the practical tools, resources, and a vibrant community of practice to support this transformation. Better Funding draws upon the experiences of grantmakers, community leaders, development practitioners, and trust-based funders to create a multifaceted crowd-sourced resource that highlights the transformative power of trust-based relationships. We share our experience creating equitable funding models and grantee-led initiatives, providing funders with the insights and guidance they need to build trust-based relationships. For grassroots organizations, we offer a safe and supportive space to share their experiences and advocate for their needs. ➕ Join our community to access resources, connect with like-minded peers, and help us build a more just and impactful philanthropic ecosystem! #TrustBasedPhilanthropy #EquitableFunding #CommunityLedChange
