6 Trust-Based Practices at-a-Glance

Philanthropy has a power problem. Too often, foundations get in the way of nonprofits doing the work they know best. This can slow down progress, perpetuate inefficiency, and obstruct nonprofit growth and innovation. Trust-Based Philanthropy reimagines that dynamic. Infused by core values of power-sharing, equity, humility, transparency, curiosity, and collaboration, Trust-Based Philanthropy believes our work will be more successful and rewarding if we approach grantee relationships as an ongoing partnership rather than a one-time transaction. This two-pager guide provides an overview of the 6 trust-based practices you can implement today as you get started on your trust-based journey.
