About Philanos

• Philanos works to accelerate women's philanthropic giving by providing our affiliates the resources they need to impact their communities. 

Our Vision

Our Values

• Philanos believes that organizations that prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) create environments that respect and value individual differences. Inclusive organizations foster cultures that minimize bias and make decisions better able to address systemic inequities.
