Building Grants Management Systems With a Trust-Based Lens

Trust-based philanthropy is often described as an approach to grantmaking that advocates for a shift away from the transactional and more toward the relational. This is typically paired with calls for multiyear, unrestricted funding, streamlined paperwork, and approaching grantee relationships as learning partnerships. But what does it look like to apply a trust-based lens to our grant management systems overall? Join us for this interactive session where you will hear from grants managers and operations staff who have worked to build systems that support and reinforce values of equity and power-sharing and foster a deeper commitment to trust-based philanthropy.

This block of breakout sessions is sponsored by SmartSimple.
