About this guide

About the authors

This guide is brought to you by Greaterthan, an organization with the mission to make participatory governance in organizations the new normal by spreading culture, knowledge and practices. We want to make collaborative funding easy and accessible to anyone.

The authors of this playbook, Francesca Pick and Kate Beecroft, have over a decade of experience in participatory governance, self-organization and community building. The knowledge shared here stems from their first-hand experiences as leaders and practitioners in global networks such as Enspiral and Ouishare, and the growing practice of collaborative budgeting they have helped to develop in these networks.
