This interactive workshop will explore the role of narratives in grantmaking spaces through a case study, small group discussions, and reflective prompts. We will introduce a framework that situates diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) principles and practices within a narrative landscape, and walk through a case study that documents how an organization-wide DEIB-focused initiative on change ultimately led the leader of the design—a well-liked and widely respected employee—to resign.
By attending this session, participants will deepen their knowledge in the following areas:
- How harmful narratives show up in the philanthropic sector and how to apply a narrative lens to identify, question, and disrupt harmful narratives within ourselves and our organizations
- The tools, strategies, and tactics that can help inform healthy and effective change management through a narrative lens
- How to initiate conversations with peers, managers, and leadership on how narratives shape grantmaking decisions
