[Pictured right: Andrea (left) and Amy (right)]
- If you are new to CCF, find the 10 principles here
- CCF is based
on belief that the communities we serve and benefit must be centered.
The national movement is BIPOC-led and ever-evolving.
- Key ideas
include: equally valuing the importance of our donors, volunteers,
staff, and board; donors are part of a larger community of support; and
moving award from transactional language in communications and
relationships with our donors.
- On the
foundation side, you'll see a move towards Trust-Based Philanthropy,
which is a peer-to-peer funder initiative to address the inherent power
imbalances between foundations and nonprofits. At its core, trust-based
philanthropy is rooted in a set of values that help advance equity,
shift power, and build mutually accountable relationships.
