Grassroots Grantmaking is Proximate's project to cover the global movement in philanthropy to shift power to the grassroots.
We report on how funders, organizers, and communities are rethinking who controls resources—and why. Through stories on trust-based philanthropy, participatory grantmaking, community philanthropy, and alternatives to donor-centric models, we explore the growing push to make philanthropy more accountable, equitable, and rooted in lived experience.
This is where reform meets reality—on the ground, with those doing the work.
