COVID and Community: Outreach and Messaging About the Vaccine
While elections come and go, the trusting relationships between residents and community groups that lead to voter turnout are critical throughout the year. This type of civic engagement support helps people access City and County processes; understand their children’s educational rights; receive information about health and wellness; and more. Today, those relationships offer the opportunity to ensure that every person understands and can access a life-saving vaccine. The Census 2020 group that led our region to outperform the past 20…

An Equitable and Resilient Future: Perspectives from Philanthropic Leaders
Philanthropy and the nonprofits they support we’re engaged in incredible work at the start of 2020. But the world drastically changed in March of last year. As we battle with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it's disproportionate effect on BIPOC communities, and witness a rise in insurgency to our democratic principles, we are reminded of our constant struggle with the historical and generational pandemics of anti-Black racism and white supremacy. It's as crucial as ever to ask, what does all of…

The Ethos of Being Trust-Based Session 3 | Building Trust Begins At Home: Practices that Advance (or Weaken) Trust Within Your Organization
A trust-based culture—one that prioritizes power-sharing, dialogue, transparency, and learning—is essential to cultivating relationships of trust within organizations. Simply put, being a trust-based organization requires there to be trust within your organization—among staff, between staff and board, and between the board and the CEO. When this trust is broken, or if it is never built to begin with, it can seep into the external aspects of your work with the potential of threatening your relationships, credibility, and reputation. In this…

The Ethos of Being Trust-Based Session 4 | Confronting and Correcting Historical Power Imbalance
Trust-based philanthropy is anchored in an understanding of power and privilege, historical and systemic racism and structural oppression, and how these shape people’s realities in profoundly different ways. As grantmakers, we have a responsibility to confront the reality that philanthropy originated from and has often contributed to systemic inequities, both in the ways wealth is accumulated and its dissemination is controlled. While these discussions may be challenging and difficult, this type of self-reflection is fundamental to the work of trust-based…

The Ethos of Being Trust-Based Session 5 | Reimagining Funder Roles in a Trust-Based Context
Trust-based philanthropy encourages us to rethink our notions of traditional philanthropic roles, which tend to prioritize transactions over relationships. In fact, a trust-based approach encourages us to understand our roles as partners working in service of nonprofits and communities. Traditional Philanthropy has institutionalized and perpetuated harmful tropes about funders as experts and nonprofits as needy people who need to be held accountable. This has been perpetuated institutionally through our grantmaking practices, but also in less obvious ways, such as job…
