Funding Ecosystem Writing Retreat 2026

We all know the systems of funding and philanthropy need to change. And we’ve met countless people innovating, designing and developing systemic practices, funds and investment portfolios. But we also know that writing these stories and learnings down is always the thing that gets deprioritised.

We invite you to come join us in a dedicated writing space for changemakers and practitioners who have been active in the funding, investing and philanthropic space and have an emerging story to tell; and want to make the space to develop and write it.

It might be a blog or article, a whole series of stories, or the beginnings of a book. Or, you might not know what the format is yet, but you have the intention to write and would love a dedicated space and support to do so and play with creative formats that might bring some of your experience to life. We will lightly host the space to support the writing process, which might include daily check-ins, as well as offer 1:1 or group coaching sessions where required, as well as peer accountability and support.

Louise and Anna invite you to join us in November 2025 for a 4 day / 3 night writing retreat.

For all retreat information, visit the School of System Change website.
