This workshop is hosted by the National Network of Consultants to Grantmakers via Zoom. Registration required.
Trust-based philanthropy has emerged as one way to reimagine the structure and culture of philanthropic institutions. While much of the focus has been on grantmaking practices – which do operationalize values for equity in many of the ways nonprofit leaders have articulated – the core of the work is creating the cultural and systemic conditions that underlie practice.
In this dialogue session, we’ll explore why trust-based philanthropy is trending, the fundamental values and principles that undergird this approach, and the ways that well-intentioned efforts can fall short. In the context of multiple large system change efforts, we will examine the obstacles and potential solutions from concrete examples. This workshop is designed especially for consultants whose clients are actively supporting trust and equity-based change in philanthropic institutions – we will draw from our collective experiences and learn together.
