Philanos Committees

Philanos is a primarily volunteer-led organization, powered by the time, talent, and expertise of women from across our national network. Our hands-on Board of Directors works alongside active committees to advance our mission, strengthen the Affiliate experience, and support the ongoing work and sustainability of Philanos. Committee service is also an opportunity for Affiliate members to share their expertise, build relationships with colleagues across the country, and contribute to the broader collective giving movement.

Interested in learning more about Philanos committees or getting involved? We welcome Affiliate members who want to share their experience and expertise while connecting with colleagues across our national network. Contact Nancy Clark, Philanos Administrator, at nclark@philanos.org to learn more about committee service.
