We’re building more resilient, equitable and inclusive communities through our work in three areas:
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.
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.
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.
Foundations on the Hill (FOTH) is a virtual convening in Washington, DC, that brings together hundreds of foundation leaders from across the country to speak with elected officials about key issues for philanthropy and our communities. Each year, Philanthropy Northwest leads a delegation from our region. We hope you will join us this March - virtually!
This report is for philanthropic foundation investment committees exploring racial, gender and social equity issues. We distilled some key process and decision points that committees encounter, based on interviews with trustees, CEOs and finance staff, along with foundation financial advisors and advocacy groups. A diverse set of experts reviewed and expanded on the ideas.
Members are part of a broad network of philathropic organizations commited to positive social impact and have access to practical tools, customized training, expert consulting and best practices in the field.
