Introducing Matter of Voice
Upstream has helped philanthropic organizations center lived experience into their strategic planning efforts.
Across years of this work, we kept seeing the same patterns: gathering community voices required a massive push, or, compelling stories got lost along the way as they passed informally through organizations.
Matter of Voice is what we built to fix it. It lets people share their lived experience in their own words, by voice note, lowering the barrier to participation and operational burden of interviews or large-scale surveys.
