Since its inception in 2001, EMA Foundation has been a leader in what now known as "trust-based/care-based philanthropy" We shift power to our trusted partners by providing financial resources, coaching/consuting, collaborative program building opportunities, and network-building connections so that they can build the capacity they need to thrive sustainably.Our Mission:EMA Foundation shifts power and resources to our partners and nurtures a dynamic network for people to learn together, bridge differences, and work towards equity.Our values:Human rights, autonomy and opportunity for all, collaboration, inclusion. Operationally, they are all inextricably connected. Our motivating beliefs:We believe that amplifying underrepresented voices creates a vital space for empathy, in which we can recognize our shared humanity and build pathways toward understanding.Young people have perspectives and skillsets that are essential to solutions. We have to engage and support them with opportunities to do meaningful work for a living wage, especially as they have the greatest stake in a livable future.Given the scale and breadth of global crises, collaboration between organizations is essential -- no one can effectively tell stories or build solutions alone. Networks built around aligned values/goals, mutual respect, and trust are the most viable path to progress. Philanthropy should shift resources and power to organizations and networks on the ground who have the expertise and wisdom of dedicated community members. With support for capacity building and networking, relatively small catalytic grants can create value in transformational ways.
