ERNOP: Trust-Based Philanthropy as a Driver of Nonprofit Outcomes

Den 24 november bjuder ERNOP in till ett webbinarium i sin serie om samverkan mellan forskning och praktik. Denna gång får du en fördjupning i hur tillitsbaserad filantropi kan bidra till att stärka ideella organisationers förmåga att agera både på kort och lång sikt. Giva Sverige är associerad medlem i ERNOP, vilket bidrar till vårt uppdrag att verka för kunskapsbaserad verksamhet i ideella organisationer. Webbinariet ges på engelska.

Drawing on a research-practice collaboration, this ERNOP webinar explores trust-based philanthropy and its implications for funding relationships between nonprofit organisations and philanthropic foundations.  Silke Boenigk and Lena Höpken, University of Hamburg, and Eva Schneider, #TrustCreatesImpact / Wider Sense will present the research and the session is moderated by Ane Grubb from the Velux Foundation.

The findings from this research project highlight how moving away from conventional, top-down funding approaches towards trustful, partnership-based grantmaking relationships – whereby foundations actively listen to the needs of their partner organisations and act as collaborators to realise their shared mission – can strengthen nonprofit capacities and improve both short- and long-term outcomes.

The session addresses key questions:

  1. What challenges do nonprofit organisations experience in their grantmaking relationships?
  2. How does trust-based philanthropy reshape funding relationships between nonprofits and foundations?
  3. What responsibilities do grantmaking foundations carry in fostering more sustainable and equitable partnerships?

This research contributes to a deeper understanding of grantee perspectives and outlines new directions for future work in this emerging research field. Designed to connect research and practice, the webinar invites reflection and exchange on the implications of these findings for philanthropy.
