Über uns
Ali Demir contributes to Community Roots Foundation’s work on neighborhood projects, small-group governance, and community funding, bringing a community capacity specialist lens to practical public guidance. Ali’s articles include “What Happens When the Grant Ends? Designing for Continuity From the Beginning”, “When One Person Holds Everything Together: Reducing Dependency on a Founder”, and “Where Can a Small Community Group Find Its First Funding”, with attention to the decisions readers have to make before a problem becomes harder to solve. Across that work, the emphasis is on clear explanation, careful boundaries, and next steps that remain realistic for people working with limited time, energy, or institutional trust.
