New Ventures in Philanthropy
New Ventures in Philanthropy, a program of the Forum, is designed to grow philanthropic giving.New Ventures provides communities (and the people, organizations, and networks within them) with tools and resources to increase the money available to address pressing community needs. We create and share knowledge to attract new donors and to promote and grow new giving.
Many organizations and individuals are working to increase new giving, but they are not working in tandem. The New Ventures in Philanthropy program is the largest organized effort to gather, and distribute these resources to positively impact communities throughout the country.
