A column on the ideas, resources and practices taking root across grassroots grantmaking.
In Taking Root, Vanessa Stevens keeps a close eye on the ideas and practices reshaping how philanthropy supports communities and movements.
Each edition surfaces emerging research, tools and provocations from across the field – from community-led governance and philanthropic infrastructure to movement solidarity and new approaches to shifting power. More than a reading list, Taking Root connects the dots between what’s emerging and what funders can actually do differently.
