The #ShiftThePower Fellowship initiated by the Global Fund for Community Foundations (GFCF) aims to explore issues of power and build networks among change-makers. Launched to foster relationships and deepen the #ShiftThePower movement, the fellowship emphasizes community philanthropy and participatory practices. The first two cohorts engaged in discussions and reflections on vital topics, including capacity building in the Global South, community-led development, and decolonizing aid. Fellows participated in various initiatives, such as organizing events and contributing to over 30 articles on systems change and activism. The Fellowship created a supportive environment for exploring power dynamics and strengthening connections among participants, empowering them to apply learnings to their work in different countries. The GFCF invites those interested in community-based approaches to apply for the next cohort of the fellowship. Read more here.
