Trust is essential for funders looking to center community voice but can sometimes be in short supply. In the fourth and final episode of our Short Takes podcast series on centering community voice, Walter Howell of Community Wealth Partners reminds us that trust is built through relationship. “Think about how you built trust with your closest friends,” he says. “They probably listened to you a lot and didn’t try to overfix you.” It’s a two-minute listen. https://lnkd.in/edtZC_Uf

Funders sometimes have a scarcity mentality about finding resources to engage community. In the second episode of our Short Takes podcast series on centering community voice, Walter Howell of Community Wealth Partners suggests an abundance mindset instead. “If you have people that feel value, are excited, feel honored and included . . . you’ll feel the energy and momentum progress.” Take two minutes to hear more. https://lnkd.in/eeEzx9Kx

Thanks, Collective Impact Forum, that was fun! Melinda Tuan #philanthropy #FunderListening #listening #foundations
New on the Podcast: We talk with Melinda Tuan from Fund for Shared Insight about why community listening is so important to achieve effective philanthropy. https://lnkd.in/gJCkxaj3 Listening to community members and tapping into community expertise are key factors when trying to understand why social issues are happening, and what potential solutions may be best to address these challenges. This is especially true for philanthropy, a sector committed to traditionally funding social change through more “top down” strategies, rather than seeking and empowering community-driven solutions from the beginning. Over the last 10 years, the funder collaborative Fund for Shared Insight has been working to support philanthropy to better engage and uplift community voice by promoting resources and building capacity around community listening, centering community voice and expertise, and learning how to shift from “power over” to “power with” their community members and partnering organizations. In this new podcast discussion, we talk with Melinda Tuan,?Shared Insight’s managing director. Melinda shares key takeaways from the last decade, including what it takes to support and encourage change in how foundations work with communities. From participatory practices to community advisory boards, we explore strategies that have helped foundations better connect to their constituents and reach their funding goals.

We "knew that people most impacted by policing and the criminal legal system are the ones most capable of defining and leading transformational change." #ParticipatoryGrantmaking #philanthropy #funders #foundations #CommunityLed #listening #FunderListening
