We are stronger together.
Through peer networks, affinity groups and collaboratives, you can connect with other funders around shared interests, learning and action. These groups are the heart and soul of Philanthropy Northwest — where conversations lead to new insights, where creative solutions are born and where you feel part of a community.
Affinity Groups
Affinity groups, which may include Philanthropy Northwest members and non-members, are organized around shared interests and demographics to support more effective philanthropy.
