Trust-based philanthropy as an alternative way of traditional grant-making – Is trust-based philanthropy the future of giving?

Abstract:
Trust-based Philanthropy is an emerging trend in philanthropic giving. It challenges power dynamics in traditional giving in which funders often place significant restriction on their funding and high degrees of reporting and verification. While this approach has freed up organisations to innovate and be flexible in their giving, there remain concerns about whether it goes too far in terms of lowering accountability and the effectiveness of grants.

The panel will debate the pros and cons of trust-based philanthropy vis-a-vis other approaches and lessons for guiding how we give in the future.
