You open your favorite music app to break out of your afternoon slump\u2014but something\u2019s different. Every song on the platform is the same. Same artist, same tune, same song, again and again. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s an analogy for chronic issues in the world of aid and philanthropy.<\/p>\n

Billions of dollars are devoted every year to efforts to make the world a better place\u2014crucial work like curbing climate change, advancing gender equality, and building back better after natural disasters. Would it surprise you to learn that less than 2%<\/a> of that money typically reaches local nonprofits\u2014those that are often closest to these problems?<\/p>\n

Look further, and you\u2019ll find more troubling numbers. Nearly half<\/a> of international aid dollars go to the same 10 large organizations. Year after year. In the United States, Black-led organizations have only 24%<\/a> of the assets their white-led peers have. Same artist, same tune, same song. And the same problems persist. <\/p>\n

The world\u2019s most pressing problems will never be solved if the people with the most promising solutions continue to be shut out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People with local knowledge, with lived experiences of racial injustice, poverty, and human rights abuses; people from within communities who want to create change. <\/p>\n

In-depth research from GlobalGiving and Global Fund for Community Foundations<\/a> in six countries\u2014India, Mexico, Nepal, Russia, Vietnam, and Zambia\u2014showed that community-led organizations are more agile, connected, and flexible. They\u2019re able to act quickly because they understand the contexts in which they work. They\u2019re able to harness local assets because they have long-held relationships with their neighbors. They\u2019re able to pivot based on changing needs because they see and feel those needs every day. <\/p>\n

A community-led approach to change would put more people like Grace B. Mose Okong\u2019o, Carlo Andr\u00e9 Oliveras Rodr\u00edguez, and S.A. Lawrence-Welch in the lead. <\/p>\n

Grace endured<\/a> female genital mutilation as a child. She left the rural Kenyan community where it happened, only to see similar issues plaguing women in New York where she worked as a domestic violence hotline director. Graced returned to Kenya to start a nonprofit, Hope Foundation for African Women<\/a>, devoted to ending FGM. At its core is her belief that FGM survivors and perpetrators, sometimes one and the same, hold the key to ending the painful and life-threatening practice. \u201cThey are waiting to share ideas and experiences that they already have,\u201d Grace says. <\/p>\n

Carlo witnessed firsthand the devastation in Puerto Rico after hurricanes Irma and Maria\u2014and the painfully slow government response that left lights out in communities for months. \u201cNo one is coming,\u201d he recalls thinking. \u201cNo one is coming to save you. No one is coming for your family. You have to save yourself.\u201d Carlo believes Puerto Ricans themselves know best how to create safer futures, but they\u2019re shut out through broken systems. His job is to make space for Puerto Ricans to envision and enact solutions as the Executive Director of the nonprofit La Mara\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n

S.A. Lawrence-Welch and their family suffered generations of ethnic persecution and trauma, including residential boarding schools and the Sixties Scoop era<\/a> in Canada, in which S.A.\u2019s sister was unethically adopted out. S.A., also a survivor of the foster care system, has turned their painful experience into a mission to help other Indigenous people come together in healing ways and healing spaces at the collective Seeding Sovereignty<\/a>. The legacy of trauma that Indigenous people face can make them feel alone, so S.A. works to help them find support, validation, and joy as they continue their journey through the healing process. “I want to be remembered as someone who led by example,” S.A. says. <\/p>\n

Picture the world with more resources in the hands of community leaders like S.A., Carlo, and Grace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Instead, the same old approaches thwart progress, again and again. Last year\u2019s U.N. climate change conference is a glaring example. Global South and Indigenous leaders called for its postponement<\/a> due to a lack of representation. These communities are suffering the brunt of climate change consequences but rarely have a seat at the decision-making table. The conference went on as planned.<\/p>\n

Change will require each of us to stand up and question the status quo. To direct our dollars to local leaders like Grace, Carlo, and S.A., and to trust them to put the resources to work in the way that makes the most sense. Their voices and expertise are not listened to frequently enough. <\/p>\n

This is one reason why GlobalGiving partnered with Matter Unlimited<\/a> and Breaktide Productions<\/a> to create three short films starring Grace, Carlo, and S.A. The film series will premiere at GlobalGiving\u2019s 20th Anniversary Virtual Celebration, \u201cCommunity Forward,\u201d on March 23, 2022. <\/p>\n

Join us to celebrate them\u2014and lift up thousands of fellow changemakers who make up the GlobalGiving community. This community crucially includes people like you, who share a conviction: It is past time to put communities in the driver\u2019s seat of change.<\/p>\n
