Funding Through Growth and Transition: What Philanthropy Can Learn from the Race Equity Programme – Part 2

This is the second part of a two-part blog written by Natalie Cleary of Liberating Knowledge, and Dee Breacker and Derek Bardowell of Ten Years’ Time. Liberating Knowledge and Ten Years’ Time are the Learning Partners to our Racial Equity Programme, and have been working with The Clothworkers’ Foundation and the four Racial Equity grantholders over the last three years. The Racial Equity Programme provides core funding to support the strategic development and growth of the four organisations, and these blogs describe the ‘funding trap’ that can hinder racial equity organisations as they grow, as well as the way funders can act to avoid this.
