When high-quality listening opens up opportunities for more participatory practices, you can be ready. Based on the first-hand experiences of the community members, nonprofit leaders, funders, and consultants involved in an exploratory participatory grantmaking program, the Participatory Philanthropy Toolkit is a content-rich resource both for funders with experience with participatory efforts and those new to the practice.

Here you’ll find insights, recommendations, discussion prompts, and the nuts and bolts of design and implementation to inform and inspire your own journey. You can assess your organization’s readiness for participatory approaches, read more about how power shifts can happen, or dive right in to download checklists and templates that can support your current plans.
