This case study explores how IM Swedish Development Partner translates feminist, anti-racist and decolonial values into concrete funding approaches – reconfiguring how decisions are made, how relationships are built, and how accountability is understood in practice.

Through examples such as flexible core support, Power Funding, and collective resource allocation, the study reveals what becomes possible when control is reduced, trust is operationalised, and partners shape their own priorities. It offers practical insights for funders seeking to align their approaches with the realities of grassroots work – without compromising accountability.
