Shake the Foundations
The Shake the Foundations (Shake/STF) group has spent the past seven months undergoing a design and test phase for our “campaign” and organizing efforts. Emerging from a lab on regenerative economics at the 2016 Edge Funders conference, the group has continued its focus on how to “reinvest” philanthropic resources into community-controlled mechanisms, specifically a community-controlled financial commons.
