ECFC and Raising Child Care Fund will host a learning cohort for ECFC members who are eager to learn more about the importance of funding social movements, from emergence to infrastructure to sustainability. In partnership with the Building Movement Project, we will dig deep into their latest reports and toolkits (Move the Money and Funding Movement Infrastructure) for peer-to-peer reflection and hands-on practice. This will be highly interactive and will follow the interests of participants.

Participants will have a chance to:

  • Cultivate a deeper understanding of characteristics of social movements
  • Identify approaches to overcome barriers that arise in supporting social movements
  • Obtain resources and ideas to catalyze conversations within foundation about resourcing social movements
