About this listen
In this episode, Joy reflects on the crisis in funding for feminist and justice-focused non-profits, where traditional philanthropy has dramatically declined in recent years. She explores the need for organisations to move beyond simply plugging funding gaps and instead build financial power by rethinking how assets are used to generate revenue.
Drawing on examples such as the Equality Fund, Joy makes the case for a feminist financial imagination, one that sees finance as a system of power to be reshaped rather than just a source of grants. Using metaphors from South Park to foundations’ endowments, she outlines how organisations can leverage assets strategically, shift power dynamics, and create more durable, resilient structures for social change.
