Advising funders on resourcing young feminist activists 

I accompany funders in developing their strategies to resource and build meaningful partnerships with girls and young activists. A most recent example is supporting the design of the Child Investment Fund Foundation Young Feminist Movements Investment Strategy. 

 

Designing Participatory Grant Making Models

I have a love for the craft of participatory grantmaking. Currently I am working with feminist funders in designing and deepening their participatory grant making including Purposeful / Global Resilience Fund, Equality Fund and Numun Fund. I am part of the Participatory Grantmaking Community of Practice and support in facilitating monthly meetings.

​

Research + Knowledge building

I have co-written and co-led a range of research the last 10 years focused on young feminists and funding. I am currently part of the research team for ‘Where is the Money for Adolescent Girls’, working on a new body of work on co-leadership models with Devi Leiper O’Malley and co-wrote the Weathering the Storm: Resourcing girls through a pandemic.

​

Storytelling and creative documentation

I have a love for beautiful documentation, storytelling and building narrative power. I am currently working on The Girls Resistance Stories - a feminist storytelling project with activists and artists. Earlier this year, I accompanied a team of young activists and funders to co-design the With and For Girls Strategic Planning process, working with graphic recorders from across the world to curate this zine documenting the process.
