“In every sector we support, from civic engagement and government to technology justice and disability rights to a just future for workers, we are incorporating strategies to end gender inequality—instead of addressing gender inequality as an afterthought. In this cross-programmatic strategy, we take our cues from many of our exceptional grantee partners and their enduring commitment to elevating the leadership of women and people of color across sectors, centering diverse gender perspectives, and more.”[more] ([link removed])

“[The Bridgespan Group is] beginning to see evidence of a shift from a culture of compliance and philanthropic control toward collaboration and grantmaking practices that recognize nonprofit leadership and expertise. The shorthand for this shift in today’s parlance is ‘trust-based philanthropy,’ which the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project has most notably advanced.”[more] ([link removed])

“[B]ecause of our philanthropic dollars and our relative independence, foundations not only have a responsibility to be good civic partners in ensuring that technology serves the public interest, but we’re also in a relatively good position to serve as honest brokers and help the field prioritize a set of ethical standards and apply a sociotechnical lens to this work—in other words, integrating the technical aspects of AI development with a deep understanding of social, ethical, and racial equity considerations.”[more] ([link removed])

“Though much of our work at Candid aims to remove barriers to nonprofit success and achieve a more equitable distribution of power, we’ve had to dig deep to examine whether we were contributing to that imbalance. ... It was clear that we had to do more to provide the small nonprofits that need it most with greater access to our information and services. So in October 2021, our new CEO, Ann Mei Chang, embarked on a series of conversations with partners, donors, nonprofits, and philanthropic associations to get honest feedback on what Candid could do better.”[more] ([link removed])
