The article How to Fund Narrative Ecosystems underscores how philanthropy can more effectively strengthen movements by investing in long-term, collective narrative infrastructure rather than isolated projects. It highlights the importance of centering relationships, ecosystem approaches, and practitioner expertise to build durable narrative power that advances justice and equity. This orientation mirrors the Aspen Community Strategies Group’s mission to elevate practitioner voices, facilitate peer learning, and drive systemic changes in philanthropic and public funding. Together, these efforts emphasize that sustainable prosperity in rural and Indigenous communities depends not only on economic investment but also on reshaping the stories that define opportunity and belonging.
