The Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers (the Forum) is a national philanthropic leader and a network of 33 regional associations of grantmakers. It supports philanthropy by strengthening the ability of all regional associations to fulfill their missions; these associations promote the growth and effectiveness of philanthropy in order to improve life in their communities.
The Forum organizes its activities and applies its resources against six priorities:
- Strengthen: We strengthen effective and efficient geographic associations and provide support and services to them.
- Connect: We leverage the assets of our network.
- Expand: We promote greater participation in geographic associations.
- Knowledge: We share knowledge and informed practice.
- Voice: We communicate clearly philanthropy’s impact and interests.
- Channels: We develop partnerships based on beneficial exchange
