2024 Grantmaker Survey Report: Adoption and Perceptions of Trust-Based Philanthropy
As part of our ethos of learning and iteration, the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project conducts a survey to understand how grantmaking professionals are understanding and adopting trust-based philanthropy. Since our inception in 2020, this survey has been one of several strategies to assess our impact and clarify opportunities to strengthen our work. This year, as we celebrate our five-year anniversary and build out our next chapter, we are eager to apply these learnings toward making trust-based philanthropy the standard of practice among all philanthropies committed to a just and equitable society. This report analyzes data from our third grantmaker survey conducted in the summer of 2024. Our goals were to assess how funders are defining, operationalizing, and grappling with trust-based philanthropy, and what changes they have made and sustained since 2020.
