Communities of Practice
Feedback Labs believes that the key to building the feedback field is collaboration. In fact, one of our core values is to be overly collaborative! Communities of Practice allow champions of feedback to connect, share knowledge, and work together to support the social sector to move towards more high-quality listening and feedback from those at the heart of our work.
We currently support two Communities of Practice for funders, nonprofit ratings platforms, and feedback practitioners. Is there a group you’d like to see formed to support your listening practice? Let us know!
At the heart of the learning group is the hypothesis that when stronger rewards for organizations that listen well are in place, thousands more nonprofits and funders will improve how they listen and respond to the people they serve.
The group is growing their own practice and influencing the feedback field by:
- Hosting Learning Talks between group members and experts in listening in philanthropy
- Publishing written pieces and speaking at conferences to share their experiences and perspectives on how feedback furthers philanthropic goals
- Supporting each member’s efforts to improve their internal feedback practice
- Accessing coaching, mentorship, and research from the Feedback Labs team
Does this sound like a collaborative learning experience you’d like to be part of? Contact Michael Gale, Manager of Field Building, at [email protected] to learn more about the Funder Listening Action Group.
