Mission:

We are a network of networks that accelerates a powerful donor support ecosystem focused on impact driven philanthropy.

Vision:

Wealth invested for justice. 

We envision a country in which more of the wealth that has accumulated at the top is invested in building power with those who are least well-served.  

To get there, we envision a philanthropic landscape in which donors can find a strong donor support organization (or three or four) that expands their ambition, values, and urgency to engage in impact-driven philanthropy.

NORTH STAR

More multi-year general operating dollars are distributed to more BIPOC- and LGBTQIA+-led and/or grassroots organizations and movements (either directly or through pooled funds) and with more urgency.

2023 Priorities

To advance a more equitable, visible, and accessible ecosystem that supports more donors to give to BIPOC- and LGBTQIA+-led and/or grassroots organizations and movements:

  • We connect the ecosystem by cultivating a ‘network of networks’ among donor supporting organizations and individual donors to share knowledge, spread best practices, cultivate alignment, and increase impact

  • We introduce donors into the ecosystem through influence, support, and relationships with non-philanthropic donor spheres of influence (i.e., wealth advisors, bank institutions, etc.) to cultivate donors earlier in their philanthropic journeys.
