Who is PHILANOS?

Philanos affiliates vary by membership and governing models, however, they all share one guiding mission: to purposely donate financially and make a lasting impact in their local communities.  

Philanos is a national network that serves to catalyze the movement of women in philanthropy by connecting women’s collective giving grantmaking organizations. Our members represent more than 70 collective giving grantmaking groups in 28 states, the District of Columbia and Australia. We are a certified nonprofit corporation with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the IRS.
