What is Philanthropy Missouri?
Founded in 1970, Philanthropy Missouri (PhilMO) is a philanthropy-serving organization (PSO). A statewide nonprofit membership association for Missouri grantmakers, our Members include corporations, trusts, donor-advised funds, foundations, and professional advisors actively involved in the philanthropic sector. We strengthen philanthropy and promote equitable community impact by providing innovative programming, research, networking, advocacy, professional development opportunities, and other technical assistance for and with our Members. PhilMO is an engaged member of the United Philanthropy Forum, the largest network of PSOs in the United States. Our work is undertaken in service of our:
Vision: We envision a thriving and equitable Missouri, served by a collaborative, purpose-driven, and effective philanthropic sector.
Mission: To equip, connect, and energize our Members and partners for thoughtful action and greater impact.
We live out our mission and advance our vision through the following key values:

- Equity: We believe identity should not predict outcomes for Missourians and use that lens to shape our work and influence philanthropic practice.
- Impact: We create an environment of shared learning to forward a strategic, collaborative, and equitable philanthropic sector.
- Courageous Leadership: We inspire the sector to challenge norms and mobilize resources to advance opportunities to thrive in Missouri.
