Be sure to check out our Resources page, where we offer some handy guides with clear action steps, including the 6 Grantmaking Practices of Trust-Based Philanthropy and TBP in 4D: Using Trust-Based Values to Guide your Culture, Structures, Leadership, and Practices.
Are you a foundation or philanthropy-serving organization based in the U.S.?
The Trust-Based Philanthropy Project is made up of a network of practitioner-advocates who want to share their experiences, challenges, and insights in order to support institutional change toward the adoption of trust-based culture, values, and practices. If you work at a U.S.-based foundation or philanthropy-serving organization and need support making the case for a trust-based approach, you can request a speaker to present to your board, staff, or member funders. Please know that we are a small team, so we are not able to take on every request and we often identify opportunities to offer programs in collaboration with other organizations on the trust-based philanthropy journey.
Are you a grantmaking organization from anywhere in the world?
Any grantmaking organization looking to connect with peers and share tools, ideas, questions, and challenges in order to strengthen their trust-based approach are encouraged to join the Trust-Based Peer Exchange.
Are you a nonprofit looking for funding opportunities?
We recognize the challenging landscape of fund development and fundraising, and we see you. As a small nonprofit with a focus on supporting change in philanthropic culture and practice, we are unable to make recommendations for funding opportunities or connect nonprofits to prospective funders. Please note that we are not a grantmaking organization, and are unable to respond to inquiries from organizations seeking funding. If you're curious to learn about foundations that have embraced trust-based philanthropy, the Trust-Based Story Map is a good resource. We will continue to add examples to this map over time.
