While trust-based philanthropy has been a trending topic for the past few years, it often remains at the concept stage. In this session, you will get to hear from a diverse panel of grantmakers who have started to put the theory into practice in different ways and at different levels. They will share the challenges they have faced on that journey, as well as their successes when trying to push the boundaries of traditional grantmaking to promote relationships built on trust and equity. This moderated discussion will be followed by smaller group conversations.

Bien que la philanthropie axée sur la confiance soit un sujet tendance depuis quelques années, elle reste souvent au stade conceptuel. Dans cette session, vous aurez l’occasion d’entendre divers panélistes issus de bailleurs de fonds qui ont commencé à mettre la théorie en pratique de différentes manières et à plusieurs niveaux. Ils partageront les défis auxquels ils ont été confrontés, ainsi que leurs réussites acquises en tentant de repousser les limites de l’octroi traditionnel de subventions pour promouvoir des relations fondées sur la confiance et l’équité. La discussion sera suivie de conversations en petits groupes.
