Radical Flexibility Fund is thrilled to be part of Impact Minds: Beyond Frontiers! Riva Kantowitz will be joining Gabriela Boyer, Hannah Töpler, and Sebastian Osorio next week in Oaxaca, Mexico for an exciting discussion about innovations in the humanitarian world. Are you ready to talk about new and sustainable ways of resourcing grassroots and migrant communities? Using AI to eliminate bias in hiring refugees? How governments can create and implement effective migration policies and support mechanisms? Yep, we are too! We are excited to think together about: **What innovations do we know can work to support the 117 million people in the world who are currently forcibly displaced? (UNHCR) **How do we leverage tools beyond grants and the continuum of capital - when to give a grant, give a loan, etc. - to support national efforts as well as those working at the grassroots/community level? **How do we move work in new approaches beyond the margins into the mainstream of the humanitarian and development sectors? If you are in Oaxaca next week and want to learn more about innovative ways to resource civil society please reach out, and if you can't join us next week in Mexico we'd still love to chat! ______ Radical Flexibility Fund está encantado de ser parte de Impact Minds: Beyond Frontiers. Riva Kantowitz se unirá a Gabriela Boyer, Hannah Töpler y Sebastian Osorio la próxima semana en Oaxaca, México, para una apasionante discusión sobre las innovaciones en el mundo humanitario. Únase a nosotros para hablar sobre nuevas formas de apoyar los ecosistemas de migrantes comunitarios y de base, así como sobre el uso de la IA para eliminar los prejuicios en la contratación de refugiados y las formas en que los gobiernos pueden crear e implementar políticas migratorias y mecanismos de apoyo eficaces. **¿Qué innovaciones sabemos que pueden funcionar para apoyar a los 117 millones de personas en el mundo que actualmente se encuentran desplazadas por la fuerza? (ACNUR) **¿Cómo aprovechamos herramientas más allá de las subvenciones y la continuidad del capital (cuándo otorgar una subvención, un préstamo, etc.) para apoyar los esfuerzos nacionales, así como aquellos que trabajan a nivel de base/comunitario? **¿Cómo podemos llevar el trabajo con nuevos enfoques más allá de los márgenes hacia la corriente principal de los sectores humanitarios y de desarrollo? Estamos emocionados de unirnos a otros líderes del ecosistema de impacto para hablar sobre estas preguntas, aprender y compartir ideas que están transformando el mundo. Si estará en Oaxaca la próxima semana y desea obtener más información sobre formas innovadoras de proporcionar recursos a la sociedad civil, comuníquese con nosotros, y si no puede unirse a nosotros la próxima semana en México, ¡aún nos encantaría conversar!

A few reflections…

Please join us next week in Washington DC or online for a wonderful conversation reflecting on a 4-year journey to walk the talk of equitable international partnerships and explore how participatory methodologies can support communities to develop their own definitions of impact. Hosted by New York University DC and our partners at Peace Research and Education Program at NYU SPS Center for Global Affairs, we will be joined by several civil society partners from around the world who will share their different work from media freedom to human rights to peacebuilding and community development and their definitions of what international partnership means. The morning discussion will also be available via Zoom. The workshop in the afternoon is in-person - please drop us a note if you would like to attend. Registration below. #shiftingthepower #locallyled #humanrights #peacebuilding

❓Where are you seeing energy for shifting power and implementing more efficient and effective resourcing approaches to fund local leaders and ecosystems? ❓What are you working on that is innovative? ❓How do we continue to develop new models leveraging broader capitol? How do we move the innovations out there currently on the margins to change the mainstream intl development system? 🙋♀️ We’d love to hear from you! Excited to join these ⭐️ colleagues to talk about all of the above!

We know the traditional funding framework for social change is no longer fit for purpose. We've been a little quiet over here in Q1, thinking about how to move beyond frustrations and amplify new ideas.   Despite resounding rhetoric and a range of pledges to more effectively resource community-led development international donors continue to fail to shift resources and power.     What are ways to engage new sources of capital and catalyze new types of investments in localization? - How do we leverage innovative finance to support community-led social change and development work? - What is the future of resourcing civil society?    Radical Flexibility Fund in partnership with Humentum is exploring the development of a new course that addresses these questions. Would you be interested in this course? If so, what information would you like to learn about (and what is repetitive and not as helpful?).  We'd love to hear from you! 📣   #flexiblefunding #locallyled #innovativefinance Innpactia * Latimpacto * Juan Carlos Lozano H. * María Carolina Suarez Visbal * Alice Bosley * Sylvia Kim * Elina Sarkisova * Rob Tashima * Robert Ricigliano * Anna Muoio * Deborah Doane * Santiago Quinones * Federico Motka * Craig Zelizer * Xoan Fernandez Garcia * Lauren Bradford * Hugo Felipe Bogotá * Daniel Gómez Amaya * NEAR (Network for Empowered Aid Response) * Sawa Nakagawa * Aaron Stanley * Daniel Hyslop * Jenna Thoretz * Joanne Sonenshine * Roderick Jones
