The Lafayette Practice is pleased to announce our new publication: Who Decides: How Participatory Grantmaking Benefits Donors, Communities and Movements.
The Lafayette Practice conducted research and interviews to analyze and compare the practices of eight premiere international Participatory Grantmaking Funds (PGF). TLP examined existing qualitative and quantitative data regarding the funds and their grantees, including functions, roles, and budgets.
Participatory Grantmaking emerges from a practice of grassroots activism, with assumed belief that decision-making participation of people impacted by the fund’s programs will guarantee that grants are allocated to those most deserving. Participatory Grantmaking models have proliferated over the past several decades. Yet there has been little research or documentation to analyze the assumptions and outcomes of the methodology.
