"Because trust-based philanthropy calls on organizations to align their values to culture and structures as much as it does to their grantmaking practices, taking a trust-based approach often requires foundation boards to also reorient their purpose and areas of focus. As a guide for boards on this reframe, this resource outlines the four, non-mutually exclusive focal points—learning, strategy, grantmaking, and imagination—in which foundation boards can direct their time and attention when stewarding trust-based organizations."

Boldly Go specializes in helping leanly staffed foundations make an outsized impact. Recently, our team came together to discuss the Exponent Philanthropy's 2024 Foundation Operations and Management Report, to gain insight into how leanly staffed foundations across the US are approaching grantmaking, governance and impact. Some of the findings that we reflected on were: -Foundations that rated racial equity as somewhat or very relevant to their mission were also more likely to be catalytic philanthropists (those that embrace changemaking approaches beyond grantmaking). -Only 14% of foundations that assessed their impact shared those learnings externally. -The percentage of foundations giving general operating and multi year grants has barely budged between 2018 to 2022. However, the percentage of foundations' total grantmaking budgets allocated for general operating grants grew significantly from 44% to 52%. This research helps support our ability to spread best practices to our clients so that they can make a greater impact on their communities and on the issues that matter most to people and the planet.
