Really enjoyed this Rob. We've been working on reuse across the charity sector for a while and many of your arguments really resonate - particularly the different types of services/interactions that require more specific/tailored patterns. Thanks for sharing

I wonder if there's someone in the www.agenciesforgood.org community that would make a good mirror/different perspective?
Agencies for Good - A tech for good community
We’re a community of tech for good agencies, consultancies and freelancers. We hang out on Slack and support each other to do socially impactful work.

Then that asterisk was important - it's definitely not me! But I do find informal peer exchanges give me fresh perspectives.

How about a peer exchange? I'll listen about your work and share reflections from my perspective/experience and then visa versa*

*Of course it doesn't have to be me...

Is the paper available Rich?

Wowch - that's an excellent article and a great mirror to funding applications and more...

There's still a dynamic 'agencies for good' scene, a growth in the number of freelancers working in this space, but also more bcorps etc that maybe blur the definition. Mostly - there's not as much specific focus on it as scene as there was pre-pandemic

I think the definition is constantly changing so it's hard to see whether it's slowing/broadening From within the charity/tech for good space, there's been a dramatic decrease in funding specifically for tech for good (though an increase in 'unrestricted' grants, which makes it difficult to compare)
