    Sharing Power with Communities: A Field Guide

    A field guide from Community Wealth Partners for nonprofits and funders that want the communities they serve to help make decisions. It covers the groundwork and principles first, then three models: an advisory team, participatory processes, and bringing community members inside the organisation. It helps you choose the right one, flags common pitfalls, and draws on examples from United Way of Rhode Island, Miriam's Kitchen, Child Care Aware of America, the Greater Rochester Health Foundation and others.
