More than just a grantmaker: 25 years of partnering for justice and peace

This book was written to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Neelan Tiruchelvam Trust. The Trust occupies a unique position in Sri Lanka and in the global grantmaking sphere, as it is a local organization that supports the furtherance of democracy and the achievement of social justice. Being different comes with its own challenges, particularly when opting to formulate rules that align with one’s context rather than with hegemonic systems and processes, thereby disrupting — sometimes purposefully, sometimes unwittingly — dominant power structures and dynamics.

Authors: Kaushalya Ariyathilaka, Nilantha Attapathu, Hasarel Gallage, Kurunathan Prabhakaran, Ahamed Rifkan, Suranga Wanniarachchi and Ambika Satkunanathan
