Trust-Based Philanthropy Project recently updated the Trust-Based Philanthropy Self-Reflection Tool ([link removed]) , which is “designed to help funders at various stages of the trust-based journey examine how trust shows up across your organization, and identify areas that may need more inquiry, refinement, or deepening ... [The tool] now has a dedicated section on assessing internal organizational structures with a trust-based lens.”

“Fellow funders, throw out the playbooks that say we have to meet in the middle and focus instead on bridging with people who are trying to move the middle toward justice. If you are in a room where surface agreement is more important than fighting against racism, standing up for women’s rights, insisting on fair wages for hard work, and demanding truth-telling about our leaders and elections, you need to get up and find another room.” [more] ([link removed])
Crystal Hayling, Libra Foundation, for Inside Philanthropy

“There is no one way to define scale. It can be understood as scaling wide for larger reach, scaling deep for sustainable and transformational impact, or scaling to change systems through advocacy and policy to solve underlying causes. … Scaling the right way means prioritizing the depth of impact as much as, if not more than, the breadth of reach, and recording the ripple-effects of indirect impact of community-rooted interventions.” [more] ([link removed])
Katie Bunten-Wamaru, Sibabalwe Mona, and Atti Wirku, African Visionary Fund, for Skoll Foundation

“[T]he key characteristics and strengths of giving circles offer valuable insights about how to democratize philanthropy. Not only do giving circles themselves engage “new donors” who are more racially and socio-economically diverse, but their success in doing so offers compelling lessons to other institutional donors, fundraisers, and nonprofits.” [more] ([link removed])
