Imagine how philanthropy could change in this decade if we approached all of our grantmaking with one common, underlying approach: TRUST. Our relationships would transform. Our grantmaking would be more impactful. Our tables would welcome more people. Our work would be more joyful. These are the beliefs that a growing community of funders embrace as they are reimagining grantmaking with a trust-based approach.

With trust-based philanthropy, we can address power imbalances and support nonprofit leaders in focusing on their work. But what does trust-based philanthropy look like in practice? And how does it manifest among trustees, foundation staff, nonprofit leaders, and communities? 

In this lunch session hosted by Northern California Grantmakers, four leaders from various perspectives will explore these questions, and the practice of trust-based philanthropy, together. We'll begin with an overview of the six principles of trust-based philanthropy. We’ll then hear personal stories about the challenges and opportunities our speakers have experienced as they work to embrace a trust-based approach. Finally, we’ll hear about the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project and opportunities to engage more.
