Grantmaking is imperfect and full of opportunities for improvement.
We explore a range of topics, including:
(1) trust-based philanthropy;
(2) power imbalances;
(3) participatory grantmaking; and
(4) striving to make grantmaking more accessible, equitable and empathetic.
Tom and Gemma are authors of the book ‘Modern Grantmaking’, which provides useful tips for professionals in this field and instils a belief that better is possible.
