Funding change and shifting systems: lessons from a place-based partnership

How can we as funders create the conditions for lasting systemic change?

This session explored reflections from Cripplegate Foundation’s five-year place-based partnership, which brings people together across sectors - including both lived and learnt experience - to improve outcomes for future survivors of domestic abuse. 

In the session, Cripplegate Foundation examines: 

  • How can funders work together with diverse partners to drive long-term systems change?
  • Ways to convene, resource, and create space while ensuring equity of voice and power?
  • A participation model where lived and learnt experience shapes the work together over time?
  • The challenge of articulating and evaluating work that evolves through collective input.
  • The dynamics of public systems vs. civil society-led change.
