ResetRegional Associations Colleagues
Regional associations of grantmakers are nonprofit membership associations of foundations and related organizations that share a common goal: to strengthen philanthropy in a distinct geographic region—city, state or multi-state area. Regional association members include private or independent foundations, community foundations and corporate foundations and giving programs. In addition, some regional associations include in their membership other related organizations, such as financial advisor firms or nonprofit grant seeking groups.
- Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers
