Earning trust in any situation starts with aligning on values, which in turn leads to mutual respect, genuine collaboration, feedback, and improvement; ultimately it leads to productive risk-taking that can result in innovative solutions.
When MacKenzie Scott decided to give $640 million to 361 nonprofits, she chose organizations across a wide range of issues that aligned with her values, and she trusted the expertise of those organizations to know how best to use funds.
Applying a values-based approach is foundational at UNICEF USA. It allows us to invite philanthropic partners into the fold and bring them to the table with other experts to find new and often more equitable and impactful solutions together.
Nearly 80% of leaders from those nonprofits are using some portion of Scott's funding to engage in new programmatic initiatives or improve existing initiatives and 90% reported using grant money to advance equity.
