If you’re interested in funder listening practices that shift power to impacted communities, visit Listen to Community, an initiative co-launched by Shared Insight to continue that work.

Funder Listening Community of Practice

Our Funder Listening Community of Practice is working to support foundations as they build and promote high-quality practices that will lead philanthropy to listen, respond, and shift power to the people and communities at the heart of their work.

The community of practice — made up of representatives from 12 philanthropy support organizations around the country, along with staff members from Shared Insight, Feedback Labs, and our evaluation partner, ORS Impact — meets regularly for learning and collaboration. Organizations chosen to participate have the capacity to create high-impact resources and/or to disseminate them through strong funder networks. All have a deep commitment to equity.

A new initiative to engage funders in listening practices that shift power to impacted communities.
