    #78: Intermediation Is Not Overhead
    May 7 2026
    In this episode, Joy Anderson reflects on a renewed wave of conversations around innovative finance following recent funding disruptions across the feminist movement, particularly in the context of discussions surrounding the Women Deliver conference in Australia. Drawing from Criterion Institute’s long-standing work at the intersection of finance and social change, she introduces a set of reframes designed to move organizations beyond the narrow question of “how do we get more funding?” toward a deeper understanding of how capital actually moves within economic systems.The episode outlines seven key reframes. Through these reframes, Joy highlights the importance of financial infrastructure—intermediaries, instruments, and systems that structure relationships and shape power. Ultimately, the episode argues that sustainable and equitable movement-building depends not on accessing more money, but on intentionally designing the relationships and systems through which finance operates.‍Episode Highlights00:00 - Introduction to Innovative Finance and Feminist Movements05:14 - Understanding Economic Relationships in Movements10:14 - The Role of Financial Intermediaries15:08 - Reframing Funding and Economic Relationships20:10 - Building Trust and Stability in Financial SystemsRelevant LinksCriterion Institute website and LinkedInJoy’s LinkedInDive DeeperCriterion TOOLKITPacific Possibilities: Designing Better Financial Vehicles for the PacificFostering a Feminist Financial ImaginationOther episodes you might also like:#75: When the Moment Arrives: Acting on Systems Opportunities#58: Check List or Trust List: Power, Performance, and the Politics of Procedure#63: From Scarcity to Power: Reimagining Finance for Feminist Movements‍Part of the ImpactAlpha Podcast Network ‍https://impactalpha.com/podcasts

    #77: Strength Is the Strategy: A Conversation on Movement‑Led FinanceWhat happens when feminist movements stop asking permission—and start acting as asset owners?In this episode, Joy Anderson is joined by Giselle Carino and Meradith Leebrick of Fòs Feminista to explore how movement‑led organizations are building financial tools, institutions, and enterprises that sustain reproductive justice over the long term.In this conversation, they reflect on why organizational strength (governance, reserves, and financial discipline) is not separate from movement work but essential to it; how Fòs Feminista was deliberately designed by and for organizations in the Global South; and what it looks like to act as a financial intermediary without training wheels. They trace Fòs Feminista’s long history with innovative finance, dig into the creation and scaling of INNOVA Health Supplies as a feminist social enterprise, and challenge conventional assumptions about risk, collateral, and repayment, arguing instead for designing capital that matches the realities, time horizons, and power dynamics of real change.Episode Highlights00:00 - Introduction to Fòs Feminista and Its Mission02:50 The Concept of 'Fòs' and Its Origins05:40 Building a Strong Ecosystem for Reproductive Justice08:01 Organizational Stability and Movement Leadership14:18 Innovative Finance Strategies in Reproductive Health17:33 Collaborative Solutions for Sexual and Reproductive Health22:15 Acting as Asset Owners in the Movement30:11 Scaling Impact and Future DirectionsRelevant LinksCriterion Institute website and LinkedInJoy’s LinkedInGiselle Carino, CEO, Fòs Feministahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/giselle-carino-937285102Meradith Leebrick, Lead, Social Innovation & Financing, Fòs Feministahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/meradithMentioned in this EpisodeFòs FeministaINNOVA Health SuppliesFeminist Impact Fund (Fòs Feminista)Dive DeeperIntroducing Standards of Practice for Gender Lens InvestingProcess Metrics that Analyze Power Dynamics in InvestingDisrupting Fields: Addressing Power Dynamics in the Fields of Climate Finance and Gender Lens InvestingFostering a Feminist Financial ImaginationOther episodes you might also like:#74: No Permission Required: Volunteerism as a Power Shift#72: From Add-on to Operating System: Rethinking the Role of Services in Local Value Creation#73: Search Funds Reframed: Expanding Access to Business Ownership#20: Shifting Power in Investment Practice: The Costs of Doing BusinessPart of the ImpactAlpha Podcast Network
