Philanthropy plays a vital (yet often overlooked) role in our society. The act of giving—whether it’s time, money, or expertise—is crucial to creating positive global change and meeting the needs that governments, businesses and other institutions miss.
We also believe that a rising tide lifts all boats: From education to inspiration, this space is dedicated to an exchange of information that will help all nonprofits find their path to success.
And if you’re a nonprofit professional, consultant, estate attorney, or marketing professional, we want to collaborate with you. Make your voice heard — contact us at 800-490-7090 to learn more.
At Philanthropy.org, our mission is to inspire, connect, and empower individuals, organizations, and communities to create lasting social impact. We serve as a trusted platform for collaboration, innovation, and education in the philanthropic sector, driving meaningful change.
The term “philanthropy” comes from the Greek words philos (loving) and anthropos (humankind). It was coined by the Greek playwright Aeschylus in the 5th century BCE.
Very few sectors possess a single, globally recognized digital identity. In philanthropy, that identity is Philanthropy.org.
We steward this platform — anchored in the sector since 1996 — as long-term infrastructure: a stable, trusted center of gravity for leaders, institutions, and initiatives shaping the future of generosity and social impact.
Its value extends beyond communication. Philanthropy.org serves as a unifying identity for the sector, supporting credible dialogue, research, education, and the advancement of thoughtful philanthropy at scale.
This stewardship reflects our commitment to durability, independence, and enduring relevance for the nonprofit and philanthropic community.
