Philanos Affiliates

Your circle is the Affiliate. Your members are the network.

• Philanos is the leading national women's giving circle network, bringing together more than 110 Affiliates and 22,000 women philanthropists across the U.S. and Australia to strengthen and advance collective giving.
• Our Affiliates vary in size, structure, and approach, but share a commitment to informed giving, intentional grantmaking, and strengthening their communities. Together, Philanos Affiliates have collectively granted more than $271 million in the communities where they live and give.
• When a giving circle becomes a Philanos Affiliate, the benefits extend to every donor/member of that circle. Affiliate members become part of a national network where they can learn from experts and one another, build relationships with collective givers across the country, access information and resources, and connect to the broader philanthropy community.

One Affiliate membership connects every member of your giving circle to a national network dedicated to strengthening collective giving.

LEARN. CONNECT. ENGAGE.

• Through learning opportunities, peer connections, communications, resources, recognition, and access to the broader philanthropy community, Philanos helps Affiliates and their members strengthen their collective giving and the work they are doing in their own communities.

Part of a Broader Philanthropy Community

• Philanos is both a national network for women's giving circles and a philanthropy infrastructure organization. We connect and collaborate with other organizations working to strengthen collective giving and philanthropy, bringing the experience and perspective of our network to the broader field while bringing knowledge, connections, resources, and opportunities back to our Affiliates and their members.
• These relationships expand our collective reach, create opportunities for collaboration and shared learning, and strengthen Philanos, our Affiliates and their members, and the broader philanthropy sector.
