Philanthropy 101 is a four-part virtual series that helps all staff new to philanthropy better understand the sector. In this interactive course, you will discover the history of philanthropy, review a foundation's leadership and governance, learn an overview of grantmaking, debate the current big issues in philanthropy and explore the various roles within philanthropy. You'll also connect with a cohort of other philanthropy professionals from across the Northwest. Philanthropy 101 takes place over four interactive online sessions designed for accessibility across our six-state region!

Session 1: Speaking the Same Language
Session one provides a broad overview of the philanthropic sector. We will talk about what motivates philanthropies to give, identify the different types of grantmakers and discuss the role of the nonprofit sector as a service provider and its relationship with both the private and public sectors.
