Community Foundations

As tax-exempt public charities, community foundations help donors address local needs—and help thousands of people.

Corporate Grantmakers

Companies establish corporate foundations and giving programs to have a positive impact on society.

Family Philanthropy

In these foundations, philanthropy is a family affair: family members have a substantial role in the foundations' governance.

Global Philanthropy

International grantmakers include U.S. foundations and corporations that make grants to global recipients and programs.
