The Shared Power Philosophy: Your Key to Running a More Inclusive and Effective Nonprofit
What if your nonprofit's most effective strategy decisions weren't made in a boardroom, but in partnership with the very people you serve? In this episode of Changemaker Conversations, we're diving deep into the Shared Power Philosophy™—the belief that nonprofits develop their most impactful and equitable strategies by deeply involving all stakeholders, especially the people and communities they serve, in shaping their work.
In this episode, Alyssa and Lindsay share why centering constituents isn't just good practice—it's the secret sauce to nonprofit effectiveness. From California Rural Legal Assistance's multilingual strategic planning process to the Muhammad Ali Center's community-led response during social justice upheaval, you'll hear real examples of Shared Power™ in action.
Then, you'll learn simple frameworks you can begin implementing today to transform your organization into a Shared Power™ Nonprofit.
If you're ready to move beyond one-time stakeholder surveys and build genuine feedback loops that transform how your organization operates, this episode is your roadmap.
Here's what you'll learn in this episode:
The four core tenets every shared power nonprofit exhibits (commitment, engagement, respect, and action)
How to use the Shared Power™ Spectrum to map and expand your current stakeholder engagement
Real-world examples of how organizations like Feeding America, CRLA, and the Muhammad Ali Center are sharing power with their constituents
Practical strategies for respectful constituent engagement, including compensation guidelines and ideas about trauma-informed facilitation
Why relationship-building must come before input-gathering
How to create dignified engagement opportunities that avoid retraumatization
