Building and Resourcing Narrative Power

A broad, precise and practical discussion on the role of philanthropy in narrative change, and narratives about philanthropy. Covers various questions, including: “What are the most prevalent narratives about philanthropy that need to be challenged or changed? What are the advantages of adopting an ecosystem approach to resourcing narrative work? To what extent does developing narrative power require a willingness not to set specific goals/ timescales or to demand attribution of inputs to outcomes? How do you manage the tension between the urgency of issues such as climate breakdown or racial injustice and the fact that narrative work often requires patience and a willingness to work over longer timescales?”
