Our team comprises researchers, writers, designers, educators, grant-makers and facilitators with lived experience of the social issues faced by the communities we serve.
We create learning experiences for donors and foundations to interrogate their wealth, unlearn harmful practices and develop holistic, equitable and reparative approaches to philanthropy
We guide our clients through a process of honest reflection and radical action to help them shift from a mindset of preservation to one of redistribution.
We achieve this by reducing the proximity between where power holders sit, and where people from the most harmed communities drive solutions to the issues they experience.
Our commitment to everyone we work with is that we will learn alongside you. We imagine that this will include experiencing the joy and innovation that people within communities hold and the bumps along the way as we interrogate ourselves and the world we live and work in. We understand that we too are complicit. We will develop bespoke solutions, mix local input with global opinions, and explore issues such as decoloniality, intersectionality, and reparations through people and papers.
We will acknowledge differences, challenge them appropriately and support thinking about due diligence and investments. We will do this while debating, laughing, and learning through the highs and lows of this work. We will also challenge the normalisation of the tools, language and knowledge you employ. We will absorb risk, use our power wisely, make some mistakes along the way, but attempt to create as safe a space as possible for us to learn together.
