THE OPPOSITE OF HATE: A FIELD GUIDE TO REPAIRING OUR HUMANITY

At Metro United Way, we have transitioned from a historical community chest model to a new impact model where MUW strategically and proactively seeks to change the social determinants of education, economic mobility, and health in the Greater Louisville region. This is being done through bringing together powerful solutions to address root causes of systemic issues to ensure positive, sustainable change – moving from transactional to transformational and from investing in nonprofits to investing in solutions.
For part of our work to achieve gains in educational success, we have shifted to a flexible RFP process using trust-based philanthropy principles that enable us to invest in breakthrough innovations and effective interventions to meet today’s challenges. This has allowed us to engage a wider variety of organizations with transformative ideas while continuing to work with legacy partners on new ventures.
