As public media stations diversify their fundraising portfolios, understanding the principles of Trust-Based Philanthropy has become increasingly relevant and valuable. This approach acknowledges the inequity of how wealth is accumulated and distributed by funders and reexamines the traditional power dynamics of charitable giving. Trust-Based Philanthropy emphasizes multi-year unrestricted funding, simplified reporting, and authentic relationships.
In this session, we will delve into the benefits of Trust-Based Philanthropy for public media front-line fundraisers. You’ll learn how to:
- Identify and cultivate trust-based funders
- Understand the differences in grant proposals that align with trust-based principles and those that are more traditional strategic granting
- Build strong relationships with funders based on transparency and mutual respect
- Navigate the challenges and opportunities of trust-based philanthropy
Join us to discover how embracing Trust-Based Philanthropy can help your station secure more sustainable funding and deepen your impact.
