Participatory Grantmaking Community of Practice Information

The Participatory Grantmakers Community is a global collective of individuals and organizations interested in sharing knowledge and practice to improve participatory grantmaking and encourage its use within philanthropy. We support each other through peer-to-peer learning, resource sharing, and advocacy. We believe that when grantmaking processes are designed and owned by communities themselves, philanthropy will be more effective, democratic, and just. We believe in self-determination We are rooted in values of anti-oppression and equity We value accountability and transparency We move with care, love, and joy Participatory grantmaking cedes decision-making power about funding decisions and strategy to the communities that funders and foundations aim to serve.
