If you’re seeking to strengthen your narrative grantmaking or deepen your strategy’s focus on narrative infrastructure, get in touch. There are many pathways for you to join — and when we work together, there is enough for all of us.
Elemental seeks to connect and align the ecosystem of narrative funders, develop a common set of knowledge and practice for resourcing narrative infrastructure, and facilitate funding experiments that build narrative power.
"Narrative change is an embodied practice, as much as it is a rhetorical one. We have to create conditions that enable us to practice ways of behaving that reflect our greatest aspirations and allow us to live into our wildest dreams." soundcloud.com/harvard-cid/fu… @HarvardCID
📣 "Funders need to make sustained contributions to narrative power building across generations — because that is the time horizon on which narrative change takes place." nonprofitquarterly.org/how-to-fund-na… #AWIDForum2024 #AWID2024
"Philanthropy’s design flaws are reflected in the shortcomings of how civil society and movements operate — but the moment we are in demands liberation from those constraints." I've been busy, y'all. Find out more here: mailchi.mp/c6712cb864a9/e…
Thank you for lifting this up in your Narrative & Culture Change Roundup, @Ruth_STaylor! valuesnarrativesculture.substack.com/p/narrative-an…
“What I would hope to see for philanthropy is that people who see their role as resource stewards will contribute to an enabling environment for narrative power building across issues, identities, geographies.” @szamancanada thephilanthropist.ca/2024/09/fundin… @Phil_journal
ICYMI: I spoke with @AngeMariaSolis about the transformative capacity of narrative and cultural strategy. 🎧bit.ly/GIApodcast-Nar…
"More than sharing knowledge, practice insights, and strategies, the purpose of this philanthropy gathering is to lay the groundwork for better resource mobilisation and identify the transformative potential this moment contains." alliancemagazine.org/blog/moving-mo… @Alliancemag
A highlight from last week. Building narrative power is organizing work because it's the cultivation of deep relationships at the community level that makes the most durable transformations possible. Regardless what happens on Nov 5, our work continues. Funding it must too.
Why are social justice movements stuck playing defense? What are the myths and operational norms of philanthropy that are standing in the way of more just and transformational possibilities? 📖reader.giarts.org/read/cultivati…
@mandyvandeven interviews @FordFoundation's @MonicaAleman_, @Sida’s @LisaMossberg3, and #AWID’s Faye Ester Macheke to hear their hopes for the Moving Money, Building Movements Day. 🔗 bit.ly/3zzmoLs #AWIDForum2024
@mandyvandeven curated a special issue on wellbeing in philanthropy, emphasizing the role of care & healing in funding practices. A must-read for anyone in the sector! @TheWellbeingP 🔗 wellbeing-project.org/wp-content/upl… #Philanthropy #Wellbeing #HealingJustice #CareInFunding
Philanthropy plays an important role in resourcing what our movements need to get ready and stay ready. Narrative power building requires having uninterrupted access to high-quality resources over long time horizons, not just during elections. Join us: disinfodefenseleague.org/register-100-d…
“The work is not new, but the funding from institutional philanthropy is. Folks have been finding ways to fund movement work for quite a long time — with or without billionaires.” 🎧bit.ly/GIApodcast-Nar…
“We don't live siloed existences, nor do our movements operate in siloed manners. What what does it mean to lean into the expressed purpose of long-term power building? Narrative is about placing us in the future and showing what's possible.” 🎧bit.ly/GIApodcast-Nar… @YOCCFund
When @TheWellbeingP invited me to curate an issue of its newsletter, this quote came to mind and refused to leave. So, I put it together around this theme: "How Well Is Philanthropy? A Creative Exploration of Narrative, Care, and Healing." Check it out: wellbeing-project.org/wp-content/upl…
"Narratives are meaning-making systems that include knowledge, emotions, observations, and experiences that legitimate what people believe to be true now — and determine what we believe is possible in the future." whyphilanthropymatters.com/podcast/mandy-… @Rhodri_H_Davies @Phil_isms_pod
How can philanthropy better fund narrative ecosystems and infrastructure? - Work across silos - Share risk - Allow for uncertainty - Resource adequately and consistently - Fund individuals and organisations already working in this space Discover more: funderscollaborativehub.org.uk/blogs/how-can-…
