About this grant

This grant provides general purpose support to the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers, a network of 32 city, state, and multistate grantmaker associations representing more than 4,000 foundations, corporate giving programs, and other philanthropic organizations. The grantee’s mission is to connect and support regional associations and to bring their knowledge and experience into the national conversation on philanthropy. Services to members include grantmaker education products, an annual conference, co-organization of Foundations on the Hill, conference calls and listserves, vendor discounts, annual characteristic surveys of regional associations, and a robust knowledge management system. This increase supports the grantee to engage in the LearnPhilanthropy Initiative, a collaboration of critical leaders in philanthropy aimed at developing a stronger and more effective, fieldwide system for grantmaker education.
