POWER MOVES: Your essential philanthropy assessment guide for equity and justice gives you the first-ever set of practical tools to determine how well you are leveraging the three dimensions of power and how to improve strategies and practices to boost effectiveness:

  • Build power to catalyze equitable, long-term, community-driven solutions instead of temporary fixes.
  • Share power to earn the trust of peers, partners and the communities you serve.
  • Wield power to be a legitimate, influential and relevant voice on issues you care about.

This is more than a toolkit. It is a guide offering multiple points of entry for foundations who want to unpack their translation of privilege into power and the ways which that power can intentionally advance social justice and equity. The structure of the toolkit is a roadmap for those beginning their journey and landmarks and reminders for those further along. It is a solid and needed contribution to the continued evolution of foundation practice.”
