Paper abstract bibtex In this chapter, we reimagine learning and evaluation in the context of broader sectoral shifts that are encouraging philanthropy to take a trust-based approach to grantmaking practices and foundation routines. We first describe historical trends that have prompted the need for a rebalancing of power in philanthropy, and why trust-based philanthropy has emerged as a response. We then discuss what trust-based philanthropy means for learning and evaluation, and why we need to shift away from more conventional thinking about measurement and accountability, and instead embrace practices that cede foundation power for the purposes of advancing equity. We offer a three-part trust-based framework to guide philanthropic learning and evaluation practice, and offer examples of how foundations are evolving their approaches in this direction.
