Mama Cash is a participatory grantmaker. But what does participatory grantmaking mean exactly? To us, it means we are shifting decision-making about our grants from our staff to the communities we aim to serve: namely women, girls, and trans and intersex people who are creating a more just and joyous world. Ultimately, participatory grantmaking is about sharing power. It turns the traditional approach of philanthropy on its head by recognising the communities as the experts on their own reality and the feminist movements more broadly.
