We Are Gently Emerging

Our journey began in late 2019, when a group of us came together to dream about what a ‘fund’ that is by us, for us, and with us…could be. Throughout 2020 and into 2021 we had deep, extensive individual and group conversations with our incubation group, and with other Black / Global Majority women and non-binary people.  We also spoke with allies, including folk who work in the donor space who were able to share their wisdom with us. Our conversations were focussed on everything from ‘what should this look like?’ to ‘how should we articulate impact?’.

Each conversation was a space of learning for us. Since then, we have been quietly and intentionally crafting Project Tallawah. We are deeply grateful for each person who shared, reimagined, dreamed, debated, reflected, challenged…you have helped to mould and shape this labour of love.

We have only been able to do this work, in this way, because of the folk who have resourced our time, hosted Project Tallawah and shared space with us. We are grateful for each act of love, care and solidarity.
