Philanthropy

The Whitman Institute seeks to leverage the power of trust centered investing to promote more equitable practices in resourcing social good. We believe that investing in equity requires that our giving practices demonstrate equity. We strive to walk our talk through respectful, trusting relationships with grantees, funders and investors, and other colleagues.We believe efforts to create social, political, and economic equity will be strengthened and leveraged if dialogue and relationship-building processes are explicitly valued and resourced in a wide range of settings. Our eclectic, multi-issue funding portfolio reflects this belief with investments in efforts that currently include civic and community engagement, leadership development (grassroots and grass-tops), human rights, movement building and media and journalism.We balance multi-year, unrestricted funding to organizational thought partners with targeted annual grants. This dual approach enables us to provide long-term, predictable grants to core partners with enough room to be nimble and support emerging opportunities as they arise.
