SUMMARY:Trust-Based Philanthropy in 4D\, Session 4: Cultivating Trust-Based...
DESCRIPTION:Forefront is pleased to partner with the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project on a four-part webinar series on using trust-based values to guide your philanthropy’s grantmaking practices\, culture\, structures\, and leadership.   \n  \nSessions will take place on February 3\, March 3\, March 31\, and May 5\, 2022 from noon to 1:30pm Central Time. (Please link to each event) Each session will include a 60-minute panel discussion featuring case stories from foundation leaders who have operationalized trust-based philanthropy within their orgs\, followed by a 30-minute facilitated breakout discussion for members of partnering organizations. While we recommend attending all four sessions for an optimal experience\, each individual session will be designed to stand on its own.  \n  \nWho should attend: This webinar series is for anyone who works at a grantmaking organization\, regardless of role and familiarity with trust-based philanthropy – however\, most of the material will feel most relevant to those in senior leadership or decision-making roles. The series will offer enough introductory material for funders who are less familiar with trust-based philanthropy\, while providing new material and deeper context for those who have attended past programs from the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project.  \n  \nSession #4: TBP in 4D: Cultivating Trust-Based Leadership \nThursday\, May 5\, 2022  \nNoon-1:30PM CT  \nAn organization’s leadership team plays a key role in upholding and reinforcing values and culture—not just by what is said\, but what is done. For this reason\, trust-based philanthropy is most successful when there is buy-in and modeling from leadership. In a trust-based context\, leaders strive to be collaborative and facilitative\, focused on lifting up the whole team and building trust internally rather than consolidating power and influence at the trustee level. Most importantly\, they lead by embodying values of humility\, equity\, and transparency — with a willingness to give up some of their power in service of the organization’s greater purpose.  \nSo what does this tangibly mean for leaders at various roles within an organization? And how can a foundation’s CEO and board work to intentionally build trust among one another while upholding and reinforcing a trust-based culture? In this final session of the 4D series\, we will hear from practitioners who have embraced self-reflective practices to cultivate their own trust-based leadership\, as well as what they’re doing to reimagine their roles and their trustees’ roles toward advancing a more intentional trust-based culture within their organizations.  \nParticipants can expect to walk away with a clearer understanding of what it means to be a trust-based leader; tools for taking a coaching stance to uplift\, guide\, and support teams; and strategies for reimagining board leadership to support your organization’s big-picture vision for trust-based philanthropy.
