Wealth-X’s Post

“This report summarizes findings from an extensive field and literature scan and interviews with 30 informants, including practitioners, funders, researchers, consultants, and staff members from several foundations. The report makes recommendations for foundations to consider in identifying and working with intermediaries to support racial equity, power sharing, and community voice. An adaptable tool was also created to help foundation staff navigate decision-making points and options for determining when and how to best work with intermediaries.”

REQUISITE COMPONENT: Every efficacious plan to address the specified concern incorporates the following -- Robust, comprehensive, and consistent DECENTRALIZED research programs to identify, define and interact with the issue. The term "skyrocketing" implies that the defined problem is an epiphany -- a realization of a sudden and unexpected nature. This further implies that the variables interacting with the outcome (and the outcome itself) are not studied sufficiently, and have not been so for a very long time. As a former State of Florida Environmental Epidemiologist -- boots on the ground physically, intellectually, and politically both preceding the COVID-19 pandemic and thoughout -- I would classify the concern identified in this post as a pandemic itself and then apply the traditional principles of scientific research to study it. 1. Define a question 2. Gather information and resources 3. Form an explanatory hypothesis 4. Test the hypothesis by performing an experiment and collecting data in a reproducible manner 5. Analyze the data 6. Interpret the data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for a new hypothesis 7. Publish results 8. Retest* *Typically forgotten, ending the infinite nature of research

I have been following Tyson Yunkaporta for years. His ways of thinking with the world ahead brings a crucial Indigenous perspective on cultural and historical issues that can help bring ourselves and the world back into right relation before it’s too late. “Well, not before it’s too late, after it’s too late. Now that it’s too late.” From his interview for Emerge he shares: “It’s too late to return to any kind of homeostasis with the systems that we have now, which are on their last legs. It’s too late to reset or stabilize the global systems. And I’m talking climate, the biosphere, everything that people regard as natural. And that’s another thing we don’t have [in Aboriginal culture] is this distinction between natural and unnatural. So nature for us is just everything that is. So that includes economic systems, supply chains—all these things are nature as well. So you look at those and it’s the same thing, because as the biosphere sort of breaks down, the biota breaks down and gets in increasingly chaotic states—it will tend towards order again, but it won’t be the same order. New systems will emerge, and you’ve gotta be excited about that, if you’re looking at the big story, big picture arc of the world. It’s not coming back, what was there before. It’s not gonna be able to be held onto, what we have now. We are in for a rocky ride. And I guess we look at what emerges from there and from that, and then figure out how we come into right relation there in order to hopefully retain some kind of role in the next system that emerges globally. Because if we can’t retain the role of custodians, then we’re gonna have to humbly submit to, you know, porcupines or whoever it is that takes over.” Read the full interview for more context here: https://lnkd.in/eGKYTszm

"Our success will also be judged by how much our partners grow, how we show up as a partner for local CSOs, the impact we achieve and our ability to deliver results for the people we seek to serve."

At The Learning Tree’s Common Ground Gathering we will learn together as we attempt to reframe and reenvision how we perceive our world. We’ll put on lenses of abundance to glimpse the hope and vitality already around us. We’ll ask questions like these: How have cultures of abundance been nurtured and cultivated? How do we create communities where each neighbor’s contributions are seen as promising and additive gifts? How have we developed, and how could we develop, our community’s capacity to envision a different, more vibrant, gracious, and collaborative world? Communities big and small—from a few individuals on city blocks and small nonprofits to colleges, university hospitals, and major foundations—are putting on these lenses, and soon we’ll convene to learn from one another, for we all have much to offer and much to learn. Thanks to De'Amon Harges, I’m pleased to be part of the local planning committee with colleagues here in Indianapolis. Join us in the Hoosier capital from Wednesday, May 15, to Friday, May 17, to learn together! If you’d like to share your (or your organization’s) work in innovative, compassionate, assets-based community formation, we’re still accepting presentation proposals! Submit proposals, register to attend, and learn more at the link below. Come and see the abundance we, and you, have to offer!
