Too Big, Too Small: The Funding Trap Facing Racial Justice Organisations – Part 1
This two-part blog was 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.
