Insights for Change Podcast features conversations with people in philanthropy about funder listening to shift power.
In this pilot episode, John Ferguson, director of member programs at Indiana Philanthropy Alliance, and Annie Grier, director of community and equity at Feedback Labs, have a lively and insightful conversation about how funders need to use their “listening stethoscopes” to find out what is already happening in the communities they seek to serve; the “infinite number of potential partnerships” that ought to be cultivated to accelerate the work of philanthropy; and what a 1990s cartoon character can teach us about power dynamics.
