There is an East African, Luo proverb that says “if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together”. As the multiple crises of the world converge, we need at the same time to go faster and further. As these crises unfold - pandemic, climate change, war, inequality - effective collaboration becomes ever more important.
Some of our guiding principles at Regenerosity to help us go further and faster include peer to peer learning, collective reflection, building trust and autonomy. These are key elements for accelerating transformation and making collaboration effective, whether it is for transforming our food systems towards regenerative agriculture or transforming philanthropy towards more trust-based approaches.
In our third webinar edition devoted to the topic of trust-based philanthropy, we partner once again with Be the Earth Foundation as we share a journey of inquiry with Guerrilla Foundation and FundAction. We ask, what practices of alternative funding and decision making can accelerate our collective learning? Once again we convene other funders, peers, and grantees, sharing stories which help inform and inspire our collective practices. These spaces offer important reflections from our community - you.
We also welcome to our webinar Dener and Taynara, as part of the current Be The Earth’s Blooming program with communities in Brazil. They have full autonomy on how they want to spend their budget for the first time, and will share about this experience.
This time around we want to explore not only the light of trust-based philanthropic practices but also the challenges, the blind spots, the risks. Granted, when it comes to trust-based philanthropy the benefits, the beauty, the inspiration far outweigh the risks, but as more and more funders adopt and explore these practices, it shines a light into the spaces of shadow. What can go wrong? Where might challenges emerge? What are the hurdles we might face?
Our core enquiries that will be shared through our stories:
What can go wrong?
Where might challenges emerge?
What are the hurdles we might face?
What are the different levels of trust that need to arise as we step into trust-based philanthropy?
What are some of the benefits of trust and what are the blind spots?
What are some of the common challenges, risks or issues funders and grantees encounter and how are they overcoming those?
When can it go wrong? How do we address it and avoid being turned off by potential issues?
What new capacities in both funders and grantees do we need to cultivate to keep evolving these practices?
Join us and our guests as we celebrate our tenth webinar, and continue to thread this path towards regenerative philanthropy together with transparency and openness. We will have a combination of panel discussion and then open up to a fishbowl exercise where anyone can join in the discussions.
