Funding Community Organizing, new from Grantcraft:
Grantmakers who fund community organizing say it’s
the best option when you want to promote civic engagement and support
lasting solutions to a community’s problems. Yet many funders,
concerned about the ability to measure its impact and effectiveness,
hesitate to take up community organizing as a strategy. In this guide,
funders and organizers discuss what makes community organizing unique
and uniquely effective, how to manage grantee relationships over time,
understanding the value of process, and the grantmaker’s special role
in fostering change.
