IRSG Network Strategy Session: Rural Power

This year, we at IRSG are adapting in an effort to meet the moment—together. Our community gatherings will continue to support learning and peer exchange with the goals of:

• Making more space - The IRSG Network Strategy Sessions will be a space to connect, learn, share, and coordinate. Our second IRSG Network Strategy Discussion will pick up up the threads of the first, held on Feb 11 on how funders can be resourcing rural communities to build power. We’ll gather on Zoom on Wednesday, March 25th from 1:00 - 2:30 pm ET. This year we want to move in ways that meet the energy, time, and needs we all have. We will explore what we can do if we make space, let go of “this is how we do it” ways of planning, and reach for what we need to realize our commitments.
• Taking collective action - We are working toward shaping a campaign for *our* collective action this year, designed to present a roadmap of the rural organizing ecosystem and offer places for philanthropy of all types to plug in. Conversations and coordination together will help us shape our campaign plans and goals.
• Growing our group - We are ready to deepen with you, grow our web of networked partners, and expand our community this year. We aim to gather your input about who else should join IRSG and how this group can continue to serve your needs and goals.

We invite you and any funder colleagues interested in deepening their capacity to resource rural power to join us!

*This is a funder only event*
