About Our Cohorts

Our hope is that these programs will cultivate a network of philanthropy professionals who will be intentional about supporting each other and participatory grantmaking as it continues to gain momentum over the next decade and beyond.

Who We Are

We plan to convene a group of longtime practitioners to explore what is needed to deepen participatory practice, to push the field forward, and explore what accountability looks like for the field.
