The initiative aims to create a space for members to exchange ideas on different funding approaches, share best practices and draw on scientific findings. The initiative was launched by SwissFoundations and is being implemented in collaboration with the Centre for Philanthropy Studies (CEPS) at the University of Basel, Consense and a group of members.
Five guiding principles for the funding practice of tomorrow
- We look to the future.
- We want to learn.
- We think in a participatory way.
- We work together.
- We enable.
The guiding principles are an invitation to internal discussion, to further develop one’s own practice and to critically reflect on one’s own self-image. The initiative itself also sees itself as a learning organisation: experiment, learn, adapt and move forward.
