Why are we building the future the old way?

The traditional #funding framework is not achieving results.
We are excited to launch Radical Flexibility Fund to shake off the cobwebs: https://t.co/V24XhYCaXo.

@MMackenzie74 @laurenjbradford Thinks so much, Martha, glad to hear it resonated!

[Dr. Riva Kantowitz @RKantowitz]

Who gets to decide on how resources are spent? How can donors increase sustainability? Why is it that the narrative about funding focuses on projects? We'd love your thoughts! Txs to @CambridgeCSP for the opportunity to share ours.

@DrRivaKantowitz of @RadicalFlexibilityFund says donors should always look at communities as experts who can respond to their own challenges #ShiftThePower

[Cambridge Centre for Strategic Philanthropy @CambridgeCSP]

"Currently NGOs make their case to funders to fit with donor priorities. There is a narrative about a lack of capacity at the local level. This doesn't hold donors accountable to the priorities that local NGOs have identified." - @RKantowitz on #ShiftThePower to local needs.

[Dr. Riva Kantowitz @RKantowitz]

@BridgetGildea @CambridgeCSP Thank you, Bridget!

[Bridget Gildea @BridgetGildea]

@RKantowitz @CambridgeCSP From a behavioural science perspective, one of the things I like best about RFF's Ten Radical Actions is the focus on unintended consequences that the system and behaviours in donor funding systems create, and its practical (and practicable) fixes for them

Honored to be part of this powerful sisterhood this am & grateful for a rich & optimistic discussion! @UOsili @CWoodcraft Anik Tunjung Wasari

If you haven’t been tuning in, @CambridgeCSP’s #shiftthepower series is worth your time!

[Cambridge Centre for Strategic Philanthropy @CambridgeCSP]

"I don't believe shifts are catalyzed overnight, even in the context of a pandemic. But there are many donors who recognize that current paradigms are very problematic. There are relatively simple ways that we can shift the system towards local needs."- @RKantowitz #ShiftThePower

[Cambridge Centre for Strategic Philanthropy @CambridgeCSP]
