"Listening fosters empathy, sparks dialogue, and enables us to take purposeful actions that resonate with our communities’ values and needs. Listening also helps build the kind of authentic relationships that can empower Native-led solutions and maintain sovereignty and self-determination among Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities," Brittany Schulman, Native Americans in Philanthropy, via Insights for Change. https://lnkd.in/gf3MehGu #listening #FunderListening #philanthropy #communityengagement #funders #foundations

“Working in #philanthropy affords us tremendous privilege, and with that privilege we sometimes become one or two steps removed from community," writes Vicky Stott at (Shared Insight core funder) W.K. Kellogg Foundation via Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO). What is needed? A look at how "to center humanity in our work and how we engage with and support community."

When a gathering called "Rooted in Listening" is described as "a call to action to center community voices in everything we do — from design to implementation to evaluation," we are there! Request for proposals is open. https://lnkd.in/eCam4uWU #philanthropy #funders #foundations #FunderListening
The moment has finally arrived! If you've been following along, you know we've been dropping hints about the next Feedback Summit. Well, the wait is officially over! Join us in Bozeman, Montana, from June 4–6, 2025, for Feedback+Bozeman! The theme, Rooted in Listening, is a call to action to center community voices in everything we do — from design to implementation to evaluation. It's all about deep, inclusive listening. Here’s a quick overview of our three tracks: ? Knowing – Understanding why listening is essential and how to do it effectively is the foundation of high-quality, inclusive, and equitable feedback. ? Showing – It’s one thing to listen, but demonstrating the impact of feedback to your organization and the broader sector is key to making listening the norm ? Growing – Listening is a continuous process. In this track, you’ll gain new skills and practical tools to scale your feedback practices in an inclusive, equitable, and impactful way. Our Call for Proposals are OPEN! We invite sessions that align with our theme, "Rooted in Listening," and focus on one of our three tracks. If these tracks resonate with you, share your ideas and help shape the agenda with your unique insights and innovations. ?? Submit your proposal now! https://lnkd.in/eqXaAQhu ??

We loved talking about #listening to shift power with the #funders tuned in to the National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP)'s webinar today. And we all got treated to hearing from Monica George and Leslie Ramyk from the Conant Family Foundation whose #ParticipatoryGrantmaking program addressing racial justice is built on this idea: "Sometimes the wisest decision a #foundation can make is to move #grantmaking decisions to those closer to the issue." Katy LoveLove, Melinda Tuan #philanthropy #FunderListening
