Project Report | Feb 8, 2024
Championing Community Voice

By Sarah Fonticiella | Operations & Training Senior Associate

At Feedback Labs, our work is guided by the belief that people are the best experts in their lives and that they should shape the policies and programs that affect them. We aim to leverage our place in the feedback field to amplify and uplift the voices of those most often excluded from the conversation. 

 

Feedback Summits are Feedback Labs’ flagship conferences that bring together leading thinkers, practitioners, funders, and researchers in closing feedback loops in aid, philanthropy, nonprofits, and government. Each convening ignites widespread community experimentation and collaboration among organizations that aim to improve people’s lives by collecting and responding to constituent feedback. This year’s Summit, Feedback+Denver, will take place May 15-17, 2024 and registration is now open! 

 

At Feedback+Denver, Feedback Labs will celebrate ten years with the theme “Feedback in Community” and explore what it means to listen and act on feedback in community, with tracks focused on Learning in Community, Geography in Community, and Giving in Community. 

 

Each year, Feedback Labs assembles a committee which advises the Feedback Labs team on planning a successful Summit. These committee members have deep roots in their communities and help to ensure that the Summit reflects local voices. This year’s advisory committee is made up of five individuals who are committed to listening and want to help shape the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors in both the Denver and the greater Colorado area. 

 

Feedback Labs also announced the new cohort of 2024 Feedback Champions. In collaboration with the Fund for Shared Insight, the Feedback Champions Fellowship is a one-year commitment in which ten U.S.-based emerging leaders within the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors will receive training to better understand the feedback field, support and funding to speak at relevant conferences and write articles, professional coaching to pursue this work, and a community of feedback practitioners to tap into. These leaders have demonstrated a strong commitment to actively listening and responding to feedback and are dedicated to expanding and enhancing their feedback practices. 

 

Thanks to your support, Feedback Labs was able to power our programs and continue to collectively center community voices in the feedback field. We look forward to continuing to build the feedback field and make feedback the norm in aid, philanthropy, nonprofits, and government.
