BETTER FUNDING PRACTICES
Tools, but not the rigid kind.
These are the guides, practices, and frameworks we are developing and adapting through experience and collaboration — tools built through trial, dialogue, and care.
They’re here to support funders, grassroots leaders, and anyone reimagining how we give and receive support.
Whether you’re looking to rethink your application process, design an ethical exit, or build in more transparency and trust — we are gathering what works.
These tools are made to be used, adapted, and shared. They’re not perfect, but they are alive, and they are yours.
