Description

Organisations led by and for marginalised communities have historically been underfunded. Unless we change our grant-making practices, they are likely to remain underfunded, and civil society will lose out because of it.

The power dynamics in grant-making are often imbalanced. Diverse, equitable, and inclusive grant-making is therefore about who makes the decisions, where we get our evidence, and who is missing from the conversation.

Drawing on our guide, ‘How to make your grant-making diverse, equitable and inclusive’, this session will look at how funders and philanthropists can:

  • Understand what DEI means to them and why it is important to their work
  • Plan goals and focus areas, and your approach to these
  • Source partners and opportunities
  • Strengthen organisations through trust and support
  • Strengthen the sector through learning and sharing
