Trust Puts You in a Learning Stance: New Podcast with our Phil Li

We are pleased to share that our President & CEO Phil Li recently sat down with Exponent Philanthropy’s Senior Advisor Andy Carroll for a new installment of the Catalytic Philanthropy Podcast! The podcast is a forum for creative funders to share their art and their craft, and Phil was delighted to participate. Click here or on the bolded link below to listen.

As most of you know by now, Phil is a champion for the trust-based philanthropy approach and on the podcast he explores how power dynamics undermine trust and offers first steps to building strong, mutually beneficial relationships with grantee partners. According to Phil, a powerful thing happens when philanthropists demonstrate humility through listening and respect - they earn trust. Trust allows funders to learn how they can support grantees to do bold, ambitious work. Trust also builds relationships with partners who are essential to advocacy and systems change. Phil’s installment also features Janis Reischmann of the Hau’oli Mau Loa Foundation and Doug Bauer of the Clark, Scriven and Fernleigh Foundations - these are listed right next to Phil’s on the Podcast Library page. Enjoy!
