Many missions.
One community.
United for change.

Through shared learning, networking and action, we connect Northwest philanthropies of all types.

We’re building more resilient, equitable and inclusive communities through our work in three areas:

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.

Building an Anti-Racist Future

Statements and words come easily, while action requires us to be and do better. That is why we’ve used the first few days of June to mobilize as staff around what we commit to doing today, next month and beyond.

Trends in Northwest Giving began as a project of Philanthropy Northwest in 2002 and has been published every two years as an aggregation and analysis of grantmaking trends that shape our region — Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.
