We examine how grant-making foundations and wealth holders may inadvertently be helping to perpetuate disparities. Then we work with you to design practical solutions.
The same analysis that powers the show is available to the institutions willing to act on it - foundations, DAF sponsors and wealth-holders who suspect their money could be doing more, faster, closer to the ground.
Delivered through Rayeon Associates and Wish Fairy Incorporated.
Where do your grants actually go - by community, 'race', organization size, and level of the pyramid? Board-ready findings, benchmarked against sector data.
Participatory and trust-based grant-making, transparency frameworks, unrestricted-funding transitions, and pipelines to the most marginalized groups and grassroots organizations.
Above-quota disbursement strategy, spend-down modelling, and DAF activation plans - for institutions open to distributing more, faster.
Sessions built from the show's evidence base: the case for moving money, the equity data, and what the next generation of trustees are asking for.
Closed-door convenings on the season's themes - DAF reform, equity, opacity - under Chatham House rules.
Aligned funders can underwrite a season or a strand. Publicly disclosed, category-exclusive, with zero editorial input.
Our credibility is the product, so the rules are absolute - and public:
