Capacity building is critical to impactful grantmaking. Traditional models of capacity building, however, don’t always account for culture, systems, and power in its design. By not fully assessing assumptions and values, equity principles fall by the wayside and capacity building instead reinforces patterns of harm in the communities we intend to benefit. Join this session to learn from GEO’s latest work on Reimagining Capacity Building, which examines principles for centering equity in our capacity building efforts.
When done well, stories are a powerful way to connect. They can drive us to act, build community trust, and create a deeper understanding of our work’s impact. So how do you tell a story well?

This session takes you through case studies to see how Mission Align 360 is used in practice.
