GWP is a membership network of nearly 100 leading foundations, corporate funders, family philanthropists, government agencies, and philanthropic advisors. We bring together hundreds of people who serve as leaders, staff and trustees at our member organizations to learn from each other and local and national experts. Organizational memberships include all of your staff, board, and trustees. GWP’s goal is to build a community of grantmakers that is informed, effective and engaged. Our members recognize that philanthropy is more effective when grantmakers engage in communication, information exchange, and collaboration with each other.
