Traditional funding hasn’t always been as responsive, creative, and impactful as it can be. What would it look like if we infused our giving practices and philosophies with more uniqueness, accessibility, meaning and collaboration?

In this one hour webinar we will work to have you be able to answer this question: What could re-imagining philanthropy look like for your organization?

Join us for a conversation exploring both theory and practice from the frontline using the creative Indie Philanthropy approaches of Flow Funding, Community-Based Decision-Making and Funding Start-Ups to match values with ways of funding. We will discuss some of the most forward-thinking, successful, and collaborative approaches to creating change and explore ways you can get started in your own work and giving.

Speakers:

• Arianne Shaffer - Director, Indie Philanthropy Initiative
• Sadaf Cameron - Director, Kindle Project - Speaking about Funding Start-Ups
• Alissa Hauser - Director, The Pollination Project - Speaking about Flow Funding
