Philanthropy Missouri offers three types of membership: Full, Associate, and Regional Partners.
Full Members are grantmakers/funders whose primary charitable activity is the making of grants for charitable, religious, educational, or scientific purposes; these grants are made to multiple, unrelated organizations. Associate Members are professional advisors and consultants whose primary business activity is to support grantmaking and nonprofit service delivery. Regional Partners are regional and/or statewide infrastructure organizations that have significant interaction with the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. Members join as an organization, and each of their representatives involved in grantmaking or supporting grantmakers are welcome to attend events and use our services.
While each of their missions is unique, our Members are united by a desire to increase the effectiveness of their charitable giving, and they look to Philanthropy Missouri for programs, information, and research to help them create a positive impact.
