A new Era of Reconstruction
Reconstructing Philanthropy
TruNorth Foundation's theory of change draws inspiration from the Reconstruction Era (1865–1877). Recognizing the need for sustainable, inclusive systems, TruNorth aims to create a global, inclusive network that supports community well-being and resilience, focusing on strategic philanthropy.
What is Strategic Philanthropy?
Strategic philanthropy is a method of giving that aims to maximize the impact of philanthropic efforts. Our new model, inspired by ABFE, will integrate individual, foundation, and business memberships to foster meaningful change worldwide. This aligns with TruNorth Foundation's mission to enhance nonprofit capabilities and develop community leaders, promoting self-determination and community empowerment.
