Too often, foundations get in the way of nonprofits doing the work they know best. This can slow down progress, perpetuate inequities, and obstruct nonprofit growth and innovation. Trust-based philanthropy reimagines that dynamic, building a world in which funders authentically partner with grantees in a spirit of service.

How to Use this Guide: While this guide offers insights and practical recommendations on shifting from traditional to trust-based grantmaking, it’s important to note that trust-based philanthropy encompasses the whole of an organization’s work. This approach invites funders to rely on trust-based values to shape not only grantmaking practices, but also culture, structures, and leadership. The Trust-Based Philanthropy in 4D resource offers guidance for cultivating trust-based philanthropy holistically across these four dimensions.
