This is the first session of a 6-part webinar series on trust-based philanthropy focused on addressing common questions, clarifying misconceptions, and exploring ways to overcome obstacles in implementing trust-based philanthropy.

Each session will provide dedicated space for small-group peer dialogue with other MPN members about ways to implement these practices into your grantmaking.
