Creating Space VIII

Equity Fund Process

Equity Fund Selection:

Applicants to the LLC equity fund are not expected to meet all criteria.  These criteria serve as a frame for evaluating requests given that our funds are limited and we are therefore unable to support every request.  We welcome your suggestions and thoughts about these criteria as this is an evolving process that will certainly be strengthened with community input.

Current Equity Fund Criteria (in no particular order):

• The work of the participant will enable her/him to contribute to and benefit from the learning that will take place.

• The participant will have opportunities to apply learning from Creating Space in ways that will increase the quality of leadership support and opportunities for those engaged in social change work.

• The participant has a high level of travel costs associated with participating in Creating Space.

• The participant works for an organization that has a small staff with little budget for travel, e.g. organizations with a budget under $350,000.

• The participant represents a community or constituency that is underrepresented at the Creating Space meeting. 

• The participant has contributed to other LLC learning sessions or to the LLC website.

• The participant would be completely unable to attend without some form of support.
