Traditional funding practices can often turn social, intrinsic, and organic movements into time bound and restrictive projects that are disconnected from the realities of grassroots organizations. So, how can #philanthropy shift its funding practices? Our latest animation outlines the basic changes needed in funding practices for philanthropy to meet the true needs of grassroots movements and support meaningful, lasting change. What other practices would you add? We know the work doesn’t stop at the basics, so if you want to know more about Thousand Currents Partnership Model visit: https://lnkd.in/gNnKavvS

How can philanthropy turn good intentions into real support? Thousand Currents created a simple, beautiful, illustrative video that captures how we should approach funding.

When I moved to #Sweden in 2020, I was stepping into a whole new worlld, learning the language, discovering Swedish culture, and finding my place. Not long after, I joined #Erikshjälpensecondhand, the largest second-hand chain in the country. Little did I know, this would be the start of an incredible journey. Right from the beginning, I got involved in creative projects that sparked my passion. I worked on #socialmediacontent , created #displaywindows for seasonal themes and festivals, and even curated upcycled clothing collections. This November, as part of our #christmascampaign, we’ve shifted focus to sustainable gift and wrapping ideas, bringing practical solutions to our community. We’ve promoting eco-friendly wrappings and decorations for Christmas. For me, it’s about more than wrapping gift, it’s about wrapping the season in kindness for Mother Nature. This mission aligns with my deep passion for giving back to the community. Starting as a volunteer at Erikshjälpen and now leading the store has been a life-changing experience. What I’ve Learned Erikshjälpen is more than a second-hand store. It’s a place where sustainability, community, and purpose come together. Here’s what I’ve discovered: * Circular economy in action: Donated items find new homes, raising funds for children’s rights projects around the world. And when something isn’t fit for reuse, we make sure it’s responsibly disposed of. * The magic of volunteers: Volunteers are our biggest strength. Onboarding is simple, taking just 15 minutes, but the impact is huge-helping people take responsibility, integrate into society, and even learn Swedish. *Economic impact: Second-hand stores like ours create jobs, support people re-entering the workforce, and boost local economies. Being part of Erikshjälpen has shown me how businesses can balance profit with purpose. The triple bottom line-people, planet, and profit, guides everything we do, proving that doing good and doing well can go hand in hand. Together, we can build a better world. 🌿 #sustainablegiftwrapping #circulareconomy #voulunteering #communitysupport #learnswedish #secondhandmarket #preloved #erikshjalpen
