Overview
This group is for professionals working at community philanthropy organizations (organizations that are place- or identity-based that leverage community resources to support community needs).
Through regular virtual and in-person gatherings, this group creates space to connect, exchange insights on timely and emerging topics, explore ways to advance equitable and community-centered philanthropy, and stay informed on advocacy efforts that align with their missions.

I feel like I have many peers to collaborate with and call. When we had a recent grant opportunity, we worked [together]...to bounce ideas and not re-invent the wheel on their grants process.
