Trust-Based Philanthropy: An Approach
Trust-Based Philanthropy reimagines traditional funder-grantee relationships by addressing the inherent power imbalances that exist between foundations and nonprofits. Infused by core values of equity, humility, transparency, curiosity, and collaboration, Trust-Based Philanthropy envisions a world in which funders authentically partner with grantees in a spirit of service.
A trust-based approach relies on six interrelated principles which, when practiced together, contribute to greater equity in the sector:
- Provide Multi-Year, Unrestricted Funding
- Do the Homework
- Simplify & Streamline Paperwork
- Be Transparent & Responsive
- Solicit & Act on Feedback
- Offer Support Beyond the Check
Join Phil Li, President & CEO of the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation as he walks us through approach taken by his organization, empowering the grant recipient to use its staff’s time and talents on mission-focused work, not grants management paperwork!
