A Community‑Led Assessment Tool to help determine the degree to which organizations are community‑led. The Tool considers nine essential characteristics of community‑led work (considered universally applicable) and 17 important characteristics (applicable depending on context). This report details the research approach and methods, key findings, the tools and options for operationalizing them, and recommendations for how GlobalGiving can increase support for community‑led approaches among funders and other external audiences.

How philanthropic organizations can better understand the degree to which they include beneficiaries in their decision-making processes, how contextual considerations shape participation, and where problems and opportunities lie.

The Funders’ Toolkit for Child and Youth Participation, co-created by an amazing group of young leaders, and with the guidance of an advisory committee and the ECFG Child and Youth Participation working group, is the first of its kind to offer support and guidance on the substantive “how-to” of child and youth participation - tailored specifically to funders.
