A growing number of foundations want to increase their impact by listening, responding, and shifting power to the people and communities at the heart of their work. As a resource and engagement hub, Listen to Community is here to accelerate that change.

Listen to Community calls on funders to transform how they work: to build real relationships grounded in listening, so that people have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect them.

When funders fail to listen — exercising power over, not power with, and not building a community’s power — they weaken trust, miss crucial insights, and reinforce unjust systems.  Listen to Community offers the inspiration, tools, and peer support for philanthropy to take a different path.
