Can a small amount of collectively stewarded resources spark meaningful connection and momentum within a global network?
In this month’s session, Annika Erickson-Pearson from the Environment, Climate, Conflict, and Peace (ECCP) Community of Practice will share lessons learned from her network’s experiment with a participatory community fund. The intention was to offer small microgrants as catalytic seeds, enabling members to test ideas, convene conversations, explore collaborations, and pilot early-stage initiatives. In this session, Annika will share: The design principles behind the microgrant pilot; how participatory review was structured; what kinds of “seed” activities were supported; and what participants valued most.
