\u201cThe future of philanthropy is based on trust\u201d is the title of the Stanford Social Innovation Review 2024, accompanied by a paper edited by the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project (https:\/\/www.trustbasedphilanthropy.org\/) that delves into an approach that is gaining increasing relevance in the international philanthropic landscape.
\nBeginning with the health and social crisis that, since 2020, has forced a series of rethinks at various levels of policy and governance, there has been a proliferation of initiatives that seek to rebalance the relationship between funders and beneficiaries, establishing trust-based relationships and more collaborative ways of working, before, during and after grantmaking. The relevance of the topic is also confirmed in Europe by the annual Philea (Philanthropy European Association) conference, dedicated in May 2024 precisely to the topic of trust in philanthropy, and in Italy, where the annual Philanthropy Experience 2024 is titled \u201cTrust and Philanthropy. Sharing, Relationship and Change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The drives to adopt democratic and equity-oriented approaches represent a not insignificant cultural change, calling for a rethinking of the role of the funder within the community, and a redefinition of the notions of responsibility, accountability and social justice. Such a change, supported internationally by \u201cbest practices\u201d and concrete case studies, is deeply connoted on the value level and enables nurturing social capital in territories by investing in relationships and cultivating them over the long term. Balancing the needs of the philanthropic entity (monitoring, evaluation and control of the funding provided and the activities carried out) and the needs of the beneficiaries (focusing on the changes they wish to produce, reducing the burden of red tape and more restrictive constraints), the trust-based approach proposes to both parties to bet on the relationship and to take up the bold challenge of trust, identifying in them a new opportunity for innovation and development of the welfare of communities. The participatory dimension and trust as an engine of collective action and social change are foundational elements of the so-called philanthropy 3.0 (collaborative philanthropy) and 4.0
\n(transformative philanthropy), i.e., the most recent evolutions of philanthropic practice developed to cope with high levels of complexity in the context of the current polycrisis and in multi-stakeholder fields of intervention<\/p>\n

Building on this framework, this Report aims to delve into the conceptual dimensions of the trust-based approach, to explore the literature produced on the international level, and to explore, through selected case studies, the potential of relational philanthropy in the context of Italian corporate foundations.<\/p>\n
