Systemic change requires bold solutions
Lever for Change has embraced a challenge model, which allows them to give big dollar prizes to community organizations. In addition to the funding, they’ve created the Bold Solutions Network which provides ongoing support to the winners and finalists from their challenges.
Representatives from four different organizations within the Bold Solutions Network join us to share how Lever for Change’s holistic approach has unlocked their most transformational work.
This episode covers how to:
- Redefine the funder-grantee relationship
- Integrate multiple world views
- Lift up and co-create with the community
- Build programs around systemic change
