Radical Flexibility Fund

  • Lauren Jane Bradford

What You Think Happens When You Fund Social Change: -Funding is focused on community generated priorities -Funding goes to organizations using diverse sources of investment and flexible tools -Funding creates durable, sustainable, revenue generating programs -Impact and successful achievement of programs is assumed... This is not the case: less than 12% of US foundation grants and less than 2% of government funding goes directly to local organizations in the country where the programming occurs. Further, there are countless stories where well intended outsiders have imposed solutions without understanding the context of engaging local knowledge. This is ineffective and unsustainable. RFF does things differently. We work with key stakeholders to shift the power. We accelerate a new era of locally led social change by investing in people and communities - supporting their priorities and their sustainability plans that produce results. We do this in partnership with major institutions, local NGOs, and networks around the world. Want to partner with us, support, invest in us or learn from us...?
