Presented in collaboration with the Participatory Grantmakers Community.

Join the Participatory Grantmaking Community for our first USA face to face gathering!

Anyone who is interested in Participatory Grantmaking is welcome. The PGM Community is built on relationships, growth, challenge, and connection and we will be centering this through the event. To that end, we would love to engage with community decision makers, communities and individuals who have benefitted from participatory funding, as well as funders already doing or interested in participatory grantmaking.

There will be no set agenda. This will be an opportunity to come together, build connections, ask questions, and engage in conversations that we hope will help you build your networks and improve the work we are all doing to shift power to communities. Expect joy, laughter, learning, connection and community!

Participatory Grantmakers Community member hosts:

• Chris Cardona, Ford Foundation
• Sarina Dayal, Candid
• Hannah Paterson, National Lottery Fund
• Ben Wrobel, Village Capital
