Community Listening Session - 4 of 6
About this Event
Take the Community Listening Session and recieve a complimentary breakfast treat from TPF!
Transforming Power Fund (TPF) is a Detroit-based social justice fund committed to transformative systems change. TPF is an attempt to put into practice the 12 Recommendations for Detroit Funders produced in 2015 by Allied Media Projects and Detroit Peoples’ Platform. It is also informed by the research of the 2017 report, Changing the Conversation: Philanthropic Funding and Community Organizing in Detroit.
Through community-led grantmaking and donor organizing, TPF aims to model a more equitable approach to traditional philanthropy. TPF is rooted in the values of inclusion, equity, justice (racial, economic, gender, disability, environmental), personal transformation, structural transformation, intergenerational relationships, cooperation, collaboration, continual learning, creativity, audacity, healing, and working across boundaries.
Community Table
At TPF we believe in the importance of community-led grantmaking, and that funding decisions should be led by a Community Table of community organizers, leaders, artists, and advocates. In November 2019, TPF convened our inaugural Community Table that is representative of the diverse communities and issue areas that TPF funds. In addition, TPF partners with donors/allies who follow the lead of the community. This means that TPF is led by, and accountable to, the communities we serve – just as we require our grantees to be.
