Philanthropy thrives on relationships, and the deepest relationships are rooted in mutual respect. Read more about the importance of these relationships in our statement on philanthropic pluralism. https://t.co/0vAXOFttWZ #CHANGEtogether #ThisIsWhatPhilanthropyLooksLike

@thecathyshow @LudovicSpeaks @philanthrocafe @TrustBasedPhil Yup! Thank you both for these provocations.

[Pia Infante @PiaVision]

@LudovicSpeaks @thecathyshow @philanthrocafe @TrustBasedPhil What I see you pointing to here is that funding structural change requires a broader imagination and the willingness to resource other forms thatn c3's - like c4's or PRI's, etc. Plus one on that @LudovicSpeaks

[Pia Infante @PiaVision]

@LudovicSpeaks @philanthrocafe @TrustBasedPhil Good question, @LudovicSpeaks, I think it speaks to my point that angel donorship (of whatever stripe) is distinct from a @TrustBasedPhil skin in the game with you way of partnering.

Is Mackenzie Scott a trust-based funder? My revised take here: https://t.co/GqnTQ3F5Wl

[The Forge: Organizing Strategy and Practice @ForgeOrganizing]

We brought together five racial justice leaders to discuss the "White Supremacy Culture" paper — why it resonates, the problems with relying on it to criticize organizational practices & the path forward for racial justice work

Trust is not something you "set and forget"- it requires cultivation and regular maintenance. -@shaadys @TrustBasedPhil #DemystifyingTBP

"We can't always assume #nonprofits are ready to trust foundations. There is inherently a power imbalance...it requires cultivation and maintenance." -@shaadys #DemystifyingTBP

Does Trust-Based Philanthropy Mean Unconditional Trust? - No, not in my experience as a grantee, trust is earned, built, and when it's broken it needs repair. It needs care to build and sustain it. - @YolandaCoentro

[Chantias Ford @ChantiasF]

A common question we get is "how do we find organizations we can trust?" Our answer- start with a place of trust! @shaadys @TrustBasedPhil #demystifyingTBP

[Trust-Based Philanthropy Project @TrustBasedPhil]

A sad reality.

What does trust-based philanthropy look like in practice? "The 6-practices can be interrupted in many ways. @RSClarkFdn it's an invitation to think differently. It allows the grantee partner to focus on the work. It's captured in trusting community." -@phipster #DemystifyingTBP

[Trust-Based Philanthropy Project @TrustBasedPhil]

If we say trust-based philanthropy is not about unconditional trust, what is it about? There is a due-diligence and homework process that we do upfront. We believe that our grantee partners can make the decision on how they use the funds. @phipster @RSClarkFdn #DemystifyingTBP

[Trust-Based Philanthropy Project @TrustBasedPhil]

Nonprofit perspective: it can be a struggle once you hit a certain size. Trust can be broken when funders make assumptions about our financial status because we scaled. Give grace to let us know in advance. Don't just put them through the process. @YolandaCoentro #DemystifyingTBP

[Trust-Based Philanthropy Project @TrustBasedPhil]

In trust-based philanthropy we are in it with you. We are shoulder to shoulder. It's about caring about the humans and the communities they are accountable to. Are we coming without agendas and being consistent, transparent, empathetic? @PiaVision #DemystifyingTBP

[Trust-Based Philanthropy Project @TrustBasedPhil]

"There's a humanity to trust-based philanthropy. There's a deep empathy - that's why our grantee partners @TWI_2022 advocated for #trustbasedphilanthropy." -@PiaVision #DemystifyingTBP

[Trust-Based Philanthropy Project @TrustBasedPhil]

"I think it's important to tell stories of when trust is broken and when it can be repaired, and when it cannot be repaired. We are talking about human relationships of trust. It's about transparency: who, what and why we are funding. -@PiaVision #DemystifyingTBP
