PART 1: The Purposeful Investor
Your Capital And the Power of Generosity
Teaches how adopting trust-based grantmaking practices can lead to more effective and equitable philanthropy.

Trust-Based Philanthropy Project’s “Six Practices of Trust-Based Grantmaking” is included because it provides concise, actionable guidance—give multi-year, unrestricted funding; do the homework; simplify paperwork; be transparent and responsive; solicit and act on feedback; and offer support beyond the check—that directly supports the book’s chapter “Your Capital And the Power of Generosity.” The resource demonstrates how donors can deploy treasure, time, talent, ties, and testimony in a justice-centered, power-conscious way that shifts decision-making to grantees, enables catalytic and sustained impact, and operationalizes the book’s call for equitable, purpose-driven philanthropy.
