Doing Good Better Goals: A Framework for Change

A circle divided into 4 quadrants. The word "GOALS" appears in the center. The upper left quadrant reads, "CENTER EQUITY" in white letters against a dark blue background. The lower left quadrant reads, "PROVIDE FLEXIBLE FUNDING" against a red background. The lower right quadrant reads, "PROVIDE RELIABLE FUNDING" against a green background. The upper left quadrant reads, "REDUCE PAPERWORK BURDEN" against a lavender background.

The Doing Good Better Steering Committee encourages funders to focus on and advocate for four (4) changes that can make an immediate difference in addressing power dynamics between nonprofits and funders and maximizing nonprofit impact. These goals are aligned with Trust Based Philanthropy, and are interdependent; when combined, they foster equity and a spirit of mutual trust between grantmakers and nonprofit partners.
