About this grant
This grant provides partial support to Philanthropy New York to manage the Asset Funders Network. The Mott Foundation helped create the network in 2005 in order to build a community of grantmakers committed to asset building issues. The grantee’s ultimate goal is to increase both the amount and impact of philanthropic funding on asset building issues. Since its inception, the network has established a stable advisory structure and grown a solid base of members. Activities planned for 2017-2018 include in-person meetings and conferences, a webinar series, and a working group focused on children’s savings accounts. Philanthropy New York enhances and increases the ability of organizational and individual philanthropists located in the New York region.
