This is part of EMPath's Disrupting the Poverty Cycle Conference.

Trust-Based Philanthropy is being embraced by a growing number of foundations as a way to address power imbalances between funders and grantees while fostering more productive and informative relationships. Driven by the central philosophy that funders should approach grantee relationships as learning partnerships, a trust-based approach encourages multi-year unrestricted funding, streamlined reporting, and transparent and responsive communication. Together, the presenters will discuss the principles of trust-based philanthropy and what it looks like in practice. Participants will learn about how foundations and grantees both benefit from a trust-based approach, and will have a chance to consider some practical next steps to build more productive and balanced funder-grantee relationships that benefit our collective work to disrupt poverty and increase economic mobility.

Speakers:

• Jennifer Ching, Executive Director, North Star Fund

• Philip Li, President and CEO, Robert Sterling Clark Foundation

• Shaady Salehi, Director, Trust-Based Philanthropy Project

• Nisha Patel, independent consultant (moderator)
