What would it look like to have nonprofits and communities truly drive our work? How much participation is required to center our work on community needs? Grantmakers have a genuine desire to make a positive impact in the communities we serve, live, work, and play. To create the greatest impact, we must work with nonprofits and listen to individuals' lived experiences to understand the problem, and what is not being said and define the assets available to determine a sustainable path forward.
Grantmaking that truly supports nonprofits and the communities they serve requires a deep understanding of organizational culture and its connection to nonprofit success. But how we initiate conversations about culture within our organizations, and how we make the connection to our external work, is not always clear.
