1. Today @stewardingloss we're publishing our first set of materials to support better organisational endings and tend to and steward loss in nonprofits. In this blog @ionaflawrence shares some of what weâve learned through the work so far https://medium.com/thefarewellfund/stewarding-loss-a-care-ful-infrastructure-for-organisational-endings-1791df6264f3
2.Before 2020 we were already living in a time of great change that required deep transformations. Covid-19 has created a context where org endings need considering in the present. Therefore we have taken two paths for this work simultaneously. Reflected in todayâs publications.
3. First, Sensing An Ending shares our first draft of 7 principles to steward better organisational endings, with an accompanying guidebook.This work is intended to meet the real and critical need facing as many as 1 in 10 organisations facing bankruptcy https://docs.google.com/document/d/14hsQgSqdootJgpkzcQkDCvsHv9QJiIAlCD2vG7cvw58/edit#heading=h.bdi9pvqonls2
4. Second, Staying Close to Loss is an introduction to the idea of continual enquiry in an organisationsâ life span â where loss is considered within organisational strategy as ordinarily as âgrowth.â https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XYzn4n9f1ZYkkwyZW7XxhW8WXUYO_PIEwow66BrGu-U/edit#.
5. And linked to Staying Close to Loss weâve developed a series of canvases to support conversations and explorations of loss and grief work in organisations. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1sLxLgf_HBmHCH0TYX8Vwv7ey5mn9pSJF3mzba8u0K9Y/edit#slide=id.ga3d82aba2b_1_139
6. A huge thanks to @phf_uk for funding the work so far + @dawn_langley, Caroline Lien, @NtWilderness @sonia_turcotte and all those who offered their time and wisdom through our 6 loss circles and 30 interviews.
