Gender Funders CoLab

💪 Ten Years of Powering Gender Justice - Our Power Together Report This year, Gender Funders CoLab celebrates its ten-year anniversary and we have put together a very special report that looks back on our genesis and reflects on what the CoLab community has achieved together over the past decade. It tells the story of how our community of funders have collaborated and organized to resource feminist movements to advance gender justice globally - demonstrating our power together.

“Another kind of change is moving from narrow thematic funding - thinking about how are we going to change individual women… to really thinking about what are the interlocking systems of oppression that actually need to change and so going from changing women to actually changing systems.”  Another highlight moment from ‘Our Power Together’ event - Althea Anderson, Program Officer for Gender Equity from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation talking about the shift she’s seen in the past 10 years from funders.

One month on and we are still in on cloud nine!

We are loving this article on funding narrative ecosystems by our friends (and CoLab alumni!) Mandy Van Deven and Jody Myrum 💪 'Changing beliefs and behaviors at scale cannot be achieved by a single movement, organization, or campaign. Narrative change is a fundamentally collective endeavor, and the transformation we seek to achieve requires a broad set of actors to work together over time to advance a shared vision.'
