Align values with practices to address complex issues and collectively have deeper impact
Trust Based Philanthropy
What is
Trust-Based
Philanthropy
Trust-based philanthropy is a more human-centered approach to philanthropy.
This trust-based approach to philanthropy invites practitioners to embrace a clearly articulated set of values that help funders make decisions through moments of uncertainty or change, guides relationship-building with grantee partners, fosters internal alignment among staff and board, and informs the design of organizational systems and structures.
