Hi all.ย A community foundation client has adopted a new strategic plan that prioritizes equity, justice, and inclusion in its supported region. Their subsequent work has entailed replacing their historically siloed, issue-focused programs with an integrated community grantmaking structure that resources community priorities through direct service, organizing, advocacy, and policy work.ย ย The foundation now hopes to articulate and formalize an integrated grantmaking framework in keeping with its other changes.ย
Iโmย looking for 1) high-quality examples of integrated, equity-minded grantmaking frameworksย that could be instructive for this partnerโs consideration (all are welcome, but those from community/local foundations are likely most relevant) andย 2) thought literature on key design characteristicsย to keep in mind.ย Appreciating how busy you all are,ย Iโd be so grateful if you have a moment to send suggestions my way!
