JRNY 360 Practice Lab

The real work of participatory grantmaking shows up in the day-to-day choices: how decisions are made, how risk is shared, what information is requested, how accountability is handled, and what happens when things get messy. This Practice Lab is a working session to name those tensions plainly, hear from communities across different settings, and test new ways of funding that don’t slide back into old habits.
