Breaking the Mould: Reshaping How We Fund Change

​Traditional funding models are often too rigid and fragmented to address the complexity of grassroots realities. This session brings together funders experimenting with more adaptive, collaborative approaches that better align with how change actually happens on the ground. Through concrete examples, the discussion will unpack how capital can move more effectively; enabling long-term, community-led work rather than short-term, siloed interventions. The focus is on what it truly takes to fund meaningful, systemic change.
