Funds are constantly flowing but are they reaching the people and initiatives they should be? This episode we explore questions such as: how does funding reflect our priorities as a society; how can we build more trust between donor and grantees; and where do we need to be looking to ensure we are supporting feminist movements for social change? Tune in to hear some important critiques and valuable best practices to move the funding landscape toward more Feminist Global Collaboration.
A podcast with:
• Angelika Arutyunova, Feminist thinker, strategist, advocate and consultant
• Chantelle de Nobrega, Grants Manager at Mama Cash
• Samie Blasingame, Host and environmental justice activist, researcher and facilitator
This series was initiated by an emerging network of practitioners aiming to re-think development policy from a feminist perspective; FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders, a feminist non-profit initiative to advance gender equity in the in civil society sector; and the Heinrich Böll Foundation.
