Equal Contributions

Home > Principles > Equal Contributions

Introduction: Non-profits often struggle to make timely, accurate decisions because voices from diverse backgrounds or roles are sidelined due to factors like life stage or geography. To avoid this, they need systems that enable everyone to access and contribute equally, creating a well-rounded knowledge base that accelerates decision-making. Unlike traditional hierarchies, an inclusive model where ideas flow freely—without mandating universal participation or consensus—allows organizations to tap into broad perspectives while maintaining speed and agility. This approach ensures decisions are informed by a range of insights without the delays of requiring unanimous agreement, thus enhancing operational efficiency.
