Listen now
Description
Making change is be invaluable, but without resources it is hard to do. This episode digs into the question of how to raise money to make changemaking happen. We talk with Martha McKenzie the Executive Director of the Civic Power Fund in the United Kingdom. The Civic Power Fund is dedicated to raising resources for community organising - providing seed grants and creating understanding amongst philanthropists of the particular power that organising can create. This Chat digs into how they have done this and some of the obstacles they have encountered. It is a tour de force about all things organising, and it demonstrates the power of using the principles of organising to ‘disorganise and reorganise’ philanthropy.  In the Chat Martha mentions a few ideas which you can find out more about here:  Jane McAlevey - there is a ChangeMaker Chat with Jane that you can find here.  Scale - the article that our host Amanda Tattersall wrote is here  For more on ChangeMakers check us out:  Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org  On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/  On Twitter - @changemakers99 or @amandatatts  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
