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

Trust is not something you "set and forget"- it requires cultivation and regular maintenance. -Shaady Salehi Trust-Based Philanthropy Project #DemystifyingTBP

A common question we get is "how do we find organizations we can trust?" Our answer- start with a place of trust! Shaady Salehi Trust-Based Philanthropy Project #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. - Yolanda Coentro #DemystifyingTBP

👏👏

A sad reality.

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

"There's a humanity to trust-based philanthropy. There's a deep empathy - that's why our grantee partners The Whitman Institute advocated for #trustbasedphilanthropy." -Pia Infante #DemystifyingTBP

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? Pia Infante #DemystifyingTBP

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. Philip Li Robert Sterling Clark Foundation #DemystifyingTBP

"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. -Pia Infante #DemystifyingTBP

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. Yolanda Coentro #DemystifyingTBP
