THE DECELERATOR.

The article from Stanford Social Innovation Review discusses the importance of well-managed organizational endings in civil society organizations. It highlights the challenges faced by organizations dealing with funding scarcity, human exhaustion, and the stigma of failure. The Decelerator, a UK-based initiative, aims to transform how civil society approaches endings by providing resources, tools, and assistance for closures, mergers, CEO transitions, and project completions. The initiative offers a confidential hotline staffed by Decelerator Navigators to support organizations in planning and delivering endings, emphasizing the value of thoughtful conversations and regenerative outcomes.
