Application
Thank you for your interest in the 2022 Trust-Based Philanthropy Virtual Cohort, a collaboration between Philanthropy Network Greater Philadelphia, Philanthropy New York, and the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project, advised by CHANGE Philanthropy.
**The deadline for submission is Friday, February 11th by 5pm**
This three-month learning cohort at the intersection of racial equity and trust-based philanthropy is designed for leaders of grantmaking organizations that are ready to embrace and/or deepen their commitment to trust-based philanthropy with a particular focus on advancing racial equity. Participants will walk away with peer connections, tools, and clear action steps that they can implement as they forge ahead in leading organizational change toward trust-based, racial-equity focused philanthropy.
The goal of this application process is to identify a cohort of participants whose organizations have a commitment or have intentions to commit to policies or practices that build racial equity in their grantmaking while institutionalizing trust-based culture and practices. We are building a cohort that is racially diverse and committed to creating a community that enhances and supports each other and the greater goal of equity in the sector. We will build the cohort with intention around collective knowledge capacity to advance racial equity work both internally and externally.
