A budget is much more than a spreadsheet with numbers. At best, it can be a guiding document that helps a group align around its mission and strategic priorities.
Yet, without intentional processes for democratizing decisions about money, a small group of people tasked with creating organizational budgets often hold disproportionate power over how an organization operates.
Join Ananda Valenzuela for Module 8 of Collaborate to Co-Liberate 2025: Participatory Budgeting. Ananda will share concrete tools to support groups to share power in budgeting processes, create clarity about how decisions about money are made in an organization or group, and create a realistic budgeting timeline and process.
This offering is essential for:
- Organizers and changemakers who want tools or resources to distribute the often unspoken power that comes with holding and making decision about money in a group
- Organizations practicing liberatory governance who want to create right-sized pathways for more meaningful engagement and shared power in decisions about money
- Organizations looking for concrete tools and timelines for creating more participatory budgeting processes in their home organizations
Includes a Follow up Q&A Sep 3, 10-11:30 PT 1-2:30 ET
