Rooted Philanthropy helps funders and intermediaries reimagine the structures and practices of philanthropy.
The Rooted Philanthropy framework and tools accompany funders and intermediaries on a transformative journey towards philanthropy that is effective and fair. Such philanthropy is built on trust, driven by values, designed and stewarded with the people it is intended to serve. It is conscious of the ways in which its own legacies and practices may have perpetuated inequity, and understands its role in changing the systems that have shaped philanthropy up to now.
The Rooted Philanthropy toolkit offers a framework and practical strategies and tools that funders and intermediaries can use to implement and deepen equitable practices.
The framework and tools are grounded in two intertwined pathways:
- Changing ourselves – Transforming our mindsets, policies and processes
- Changing our world – Using our collective power, wisdom and assets to advance a flourishing, just and abundant world together
