TrustBased Philanthropy Project

The Trust-Based Philanthropy Project is a small organization based in San Francisco, California, with a team of four employees. Dedicated to fostering a more equitable relationship between foundations and nonprofits, the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project operates as a five-year peer-to-peer funder initiative. Their mission centers around encouraging foundations to review their grantmaking procedures and values through a trust-based perspective. This involves actively working towards transferring power and control to nonprofits, ultimately aiming to create a more balanced and equitable ecosystem. The project distinguishes itself through its unique approach to philanthropy, focusing on building trust and collaboration rather than traditional hierarchical structures. By empowering nonprofits and promoting shared decision-making, they seek to create a more sustainable and impactful philanthropic landscape.
