​Roundtable News! (Updated Friday, 12/12/14)

​​Here is the final news from Part One of the Roundtable process, which finished up prior to our in-person gathering in Oakland on 11/9-10. 
  • ​​The Roundtable is complete! Thank you to all ​+twenty-seven people​ who participated. We request that everyone participating in our in-person gathering in Oakland on November 9-10 review the content that has been generated, and in particular that you read each of the "​+co-project seed one-pagers​"  (list below). Other things you might review include:
  • ​​The ​+Bike Rack​, featuring art, music, and inspiring ideas. For example, ​+this awesome TED talk​ from participant Michelle Holliday, and this video of Leonard Cohen performing his inspirational Anthem.
  • ​​Eleven co-project "one pagers" were submitted by the 11/4 deadline (thank you all!). Highlighted seeds are now the "sprouts" that will receive RFPs.
  • ​​​+Co-Project Seed 7​ Building Local Living Economies through the Climate Justice Alliance
  • ​​​+Co-Project Seed 8​ Weaving Community Resilience in Service of Food Sovereignty
  • ​​​+Co-Project Seed 9​ Food, Money, Power: Collective Resilience for a Healthy Planet

​
​Why We're Doing This

​​Threshold’s Thriving Resilient Communities Funding Circle (TRCF) is piloting a leading-edge collaborative funding process. TRCF will fund a $50,000 collaborative multi-partner “co-project” in March 2015 in collaboration with TRC Collaboratory (TRCC) activists and interested funders (who may possibly/no promises offer additional money beyond the $50,000 TRCF has committed).  
​​ 
​​Through this co-project, we want to take the next big step in inclusive TRC movement-building by prototyping a democratic and collaborative process that might ultimately enable billions of dollars to flow into the Movement from philanthropists and investors. 
​​ 
​​This Roundtable will set the stage for the TRCC Circle to decide what organizations will receive RFPs for the co-project at our in-person gathering on Nov. 9-10 (details TBA). It will also provide essential information to guide our design of that gathering, and the design of our proposal creation conversations and selection process, which will take place through February 2015.
