About Us

The Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers (the Forum) is a national philanthropic leader and a network of 32 regional associations of grantmakers. It supports philanthropy by strengthening the ability of all regional associations to fulfill their missions; these associations promote the growth and effectiveness of philanthropy in order to improve life in their communities.

The Forum organizes its activities and applies its resources against six priorities:

  • Strengthen: We strengthen effective and efficient geographic associations and provide support and services to them.
