We’re building more resilient, equitable and inclusive communities through our work in three areas:
Many missions.
One community.
United for change.
Through shared learning, networking and action, we connect Northwest philanthropies of all types.
Strengthening Philanthropy
To increase philanthropy’s impact, we deliver trainings and tools that build knowledge and skills, and we bring organizations together to share ideas and best practices.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Together with our national consulting arm, The Giving Practice, we offer diversity, equity and inclusion programs and resources to support living these values and creating opportunity for all.
Policy and Advocacy
We engage on policy issues that matter to philanthropy and to communities, like ensuring every person is counted in the 2020 Census, and we empower members to become more effective advocates.
Philanthropy Northwest & the EPA Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program aims to make it easier for community-based organizations to access federal environmental justice funding. Philanthropy Northwest, in partnership with an extensive network of regional partners across EPA Region 10 (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and tribal communities), is the Region 10 Grantmaker for the Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program.
We are actively preparing for our first grant cycle, with applications expected to open in October 2024.
