Participatory grantmaking is more than a trend—it’s a fundamental shift in power dynamics.
But how do these models function in practice? Who gets to participate, and what are the trade-offs?
This series delves into the mechanics of participatory philanthropy, drawing from real-world experiments and debates to explore how to ensure these approaches are meaningful, not merely symbolic.
Proximate is an independent media platform covering movements for participatory problem-solving. We look at the news through the lens of money: how it’s given away, how it’s invested, and how it’s distributed by government.
We are a fiscally sponsored project of Movement Strategy Center.
