Listening at TFN25: Power, Solidarity and Love
As a first-time participant at a TFN conference, I came to Baltimore with a question: In a national environment characterized by fear and uncertainty, are place-based funders still committed to listening to community?
In sessions and conversations throughout TFN25, and as the room filled with people for a session on listening and participatory practices during the meeting’s last morning, the answer was clear. The chaos and hazards of our context have only strengthened the commitment of TFN funders to listen to the communities they serve and work shoulder-to-shoulder with them so that people are better off in ways they define for themselves.
