Flexible, reliable funding can create a generative ethos for nonprofits and grantmakers by re-imagining the balance of power and developing transformational, rather than transactional, partnerships between nonprofit organizations and grantmakers.
While the benefits of flexible, reliable funding, such as general operating support and multiyear grants, are well documented, our latest publication seeks to reassert the value of such practices with an updated analysis and examples to illustrate how a commitment to flexible funding can support the sector to be more equitable.
Register today for an early bird opportunity to learn more about moving to action with GEO’s upcoming publication, Centering Equity through Flexible, Reliable Funding, coming mid-June, which delves into the history of philanthropy and explores ways to center equity through our funding practices.
Program Objectives
Participants will:
- Explore principles for centering equity in flexible, reliable funding practices (an approach to grantmaking that allocates unrestricted, multiyear funds to nonprofits and/or communities)
- Understand historical context of philanthropy and how to make the case for flexible, reliable funding and have the data, tools, and provocations to move toward an equity centered approach
- Hear from field leaders about their experience in embedding equity-centered principles within flexible, reliable funding practices and learn what steps you can take to center equity and trust in your efforts
