"When we truly listen, the brilliance that communities contain is clear." - Lori Bezahler, former president of the Edward W. Hazen Foundation. The Hazen Foundation's bold choice to spend down its assets by 2024 set the stage for reimagining philanthropy and making a lasting impact with input from its grantees. By prioritizing the perspectives of grassroots organizers and marginalized communities, the Hazen Foundation aimed to better address systemic inequities and power imbalances in philanthropy. Learn more about the direct action and collaborative decision-making that challenges conventional philanthropy and highlights the power of community-driven change. https://lnkd.in/ec3iR44g #socialjustice #philanthropy #capacitybuilding #communitychange #economicjustice #FCDConversationSeries
