Solidarity Philanthropy: Redefining Philanthropy’s Relationship to Social Movements

The Solidarity Philanthropy framework offers insights on how funders can build (and nourish) trust with grassroots organizations for the long haul. Among its key elements is a clear pathway to build alignment through the concept of "praxis" and long-term accompaniment with movements.

This contribution from Grassroots International expands on the work of trust-based philanthropy, situating trust as integral to the relationships we need among funders, movements, and allies to steward the transformation that our visions for justice require, both within philanthropy and beyond. It brings an internationalist and movement perspective on how we can move resources and build power — not only at community level but also in philanthropy.
