Asset Mapping: Focusing on abundance by identifying a communities’ physical assets, natural resources, informal and formal community groups, associations, institutions, skills, talents, and capacities of individual community members, and economic flows in and out of the community.
Intentional Collaboration: Recognizing we all have work to do in decolonizing, disrupting, and dismantling the current funding practices rooted in competition.
Transparency and Accountability: Always do the work as if the community is present.
