Exponent Philanthropy Conference Session: The Art and Nuance of Trust-Based Philanthropy

This event is part of Exponent Philanthropy's 2021 Annual Conference, which will take place October 19-21, 2021 virtually. Registration required.

Trust-based philanthropy reimagines traditional philanthropic practices in order to rebalance power, reduce obstacles to nonprofits’ success, and advance equity in the sector. But what does it look like? And what are the subtleties and nuances that are often overlooked? This funder-nonprofit conversation unpacks these topics to deepen an understanding of the ethos of trust-based philanthropy.

Learning Objectives

• Articulate the values and dispositions of a trust-based approach

• List the key practices of trust-based philanthropy

• Approach grantee interactions with greater power-awareness

Speakers
