Baobab Foundation

Welcome to the BaoLab Summit. Where we bring together communities to build the vision of Baobab.

We are you. You are us. Baobab is a new type of foundation, led by the communities it serves, putting power and money where it needs to be - in the hands of those who know what to do with it. Baobab will be a new force in the funding ecosystem in the UK, educating funders, challenging systems which disadvantage Black and Ethnic Minority Communities, creating larger and more inclusive funding programmes than have ever been tried before.The BaoLab Summit is a chance for Black and Minority Ethnic focused community organisations to shape the future of Baobab. How it will exist, who should be at the heart of it and how it can put power in the hands of those closest to the community.Over these two days members of the Baobab Network - social change agents will host sessions across a range of themes from our funding priorities, power and governance. As a member of Baobab you are invited to lead discussions on topics of your choice.To become a member of Baobab you can join for free <a href="https://www.baobabfoundation.org.uk/join" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.

I commit to learning about and recognising power and how different people are affected by it. I will work to ensure power is generously shared. I will try to bring my whole self to the change I want to make and to help make it safe for others to do so as well. I will meet everyone involved with courage, compassion, and a commitment to the collective. I endeavour to show care and attention to all views even if they differ from my own.Programme details TBC
