It questions mechanisms of inequality and respects the expertise of people in the field. How does this come about? Transformative philanthropy turns the power of money into creative and decision-making power for many. Some 82 percent state that Dreilinden supports new lines of work that previously did not exist. Bosch is convinced that “Societies become more humane and stronger when gender roles are less strictly binary and less hierarchical.” According to a recent impact analysis, 86 percent of projects supported by Dreilinden indicate a sustainable strengthening of their structures and resulting power shifts in favor of the communities served locally. How can money and the privilege associated with it be used to bring about profound social change? In the face of growing public criticism of social inequality, philanthropy – itself a product of social inequality – can assert its relevance through enlightened cooperation with marginalized groups.ĭreilinden gGmbH champions the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and queer people. This is why I say ‘yes’ to the power that is available to me – while I am not saying ‘yes’ to the exclusion of others from power.” I would like there to be more bridges, and hopefully once again more egalitarian societies. This is how Bosch describes her vision: “I would like to see more people working together, including those with more and with less power. Her book offers a new view on philanthropy and its possibilities for impact. The book features the voices of cooperation partners and participants of the projects backed by Dreilinden ‒ precisely the people who have personal experience of Bosch’s approach to supporting social movements around the world. The book is illustrated with photographs by Muholi, a South African artist who has received worldwide attention for their artwork and activism. Together with co-authors Justus Eisfeld and Claudia Bollwinkel, Ise Bosch reflects on ten years of holistic grant making and impact investments by Dreilinden gGmbH, while also providing an in-depth look at her own method of transformative philanthropy. Transformative Philanthropy – Giving with Trust is a book about privilege, power, and access.
