Trust-Based Philanthropy Project
We build and curate tools and resources to engage grantmakers around ways to embody a trust-based approach, and why it matters. Below you’ll find specialized how-to guides, recordings from past presentations, templates to use and adapt, and resources from partners in the field. Whether you’re a long-time practitioner or are just considering adopting this approach, we hope these resources will help you bring trust-based principles into practice.
The Trust-Based Philanthropy Project is a five-year initiative (2020-2024) that provides funders and grantmaking practitioners with the tools, frameworks, and community spaces to deepen their work of creating a more equitable and impactful philanthropic sector. This is a link to their resources page.
