Building Equitable Resilience Through Trust-Based Philanthropy

About

Listening to, learning from, and trusting in your applicants and the nonprofits they support is foundational to building resilience in our communities. Initiatives like the #FixtheForm movement and the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project are making dents in the walls that have been structured through an inequitable power dynamic, but they need ongoing support and more funders to jump in and do the work.

In this webinar, you’ll hear from two Foundant clients representing these initiatives:

• Mary Cruz, Program Manager for The Durfee Foundation, will share their team’s commitment and work as part of the Steering Committee for the Trust Based Philanthropy Project and how this work is changing their funding landscape.
• Kim Slipy, Information Systems Administrator for the Initiative Foundation, will share the Foundation’s work to #FixTheForm and how it has improved the diversity of their applicant pool and the grantee experience.
• Meredith Morgan, our expert facilitator and Foundant Client Success Manager, will also talk about how her past experience with Trust Based Philanthropy has informed her work with clients today as she guides us through this exciting discussion.

You’ll learn how these grantmakers got started, what their key results have been so far, and gain valuable insight, advice, and encouragement from your peers doing the work.
