Our growing practice of trust-based philanthropy, made possible by our incredible funding partners, keeps this understanding central. In addition to long-term and unrestricted support, trust-based philanthropy encourages reporting processes that reduce burdens upon organizations, ultimately freeing more staff time and resources for direct support to communities. 

The issues Trees, Water & People (TWP) addresses have compounded over centuries, so solving them requires that we think big picture and on long time-scales.

TWP had the privilege to host 13 of our partners and community leaders from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador at the first Mesoamerican Indigenous People and Local Communities Climate Week.

It’s motivating to welcome a new corporate partner that puts their trust in our work and our approach. This year we are thrilled to have charity-focused digital retailer and publisher Humble Bundle join our community of businesses committed to giving back to people and the planet.
