Grants to this Grantee
for Fund for Shared Insight
Fund for Shared Insight, a fiscally sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, is a national funder collaborative seeking to improve philanthropy by centering the people and communities at the heart of its work. Shared Insight believes those impacted by funder decisions, but often least consulted, can offer unique and valuable insight into how to bring about lasting, meaningful change that improves lives in ways people deï¬ne for themselves. The collaborative is committed to the kind of listening, partnering, and learning that values lived expertise, shifts power, and leads to more equitable outcomes. This grant provides flexible program support for Fund for Shared Insight.
