Case Studies of Nimbly Shifting to Centering DEI and Trust-based Philanthropy

Many collective giving groups abruptly revamped their grant processes in response to the health and humanitarian crises of the past few years, taking a trust-based philanthropy approach to better serve under-funded populations. Grant applications and reporting requirements were streamlined. The length of the grant cycle was collapsed. And funding became unrestricted. How did they respond so rapidly, obtain consensus from stakeholders, and surmount obstacles? Hear from four Philanos grantmakers from across the country about how they successfully did this. Time will also be reserved to respond to questions from the audience.
