Philanthropy Northwest

**Philanthropy Northwest is committed to a future of equity and racial justice for all, grounded in the power of collective possibility.** For nearly 50 years, Philanthropy Northwest has served as a community, trusted partner and peer collective committed to transforming ourselves and the sector. Working side-by-side with philanthropic partners in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and beyond, we catalyze change towards equity and racial justice that endures and resonates far beyond the scope of individual initiatives. **Our Approach** Through the synergy of people, organizations and our ecosystem, we catalyze positive change and enduring transformations. - **People**: Transformation starts from within, and it doesn’t happen in isolation. We create opportunities for personal reflection, learning and growth strengthened by the power of peer support. - **Organizations**: The daily actions, interactions and structures within which we operate matter. We build organizational capabilities to adopt equity-centered cultures, practices and policies across all levels of philanthropic organizations. We are home to [The Giving Practice](https://philanthropynw.org/the-giving-practice), a national consultancy committed to joyful, effective and equitable philanthropy. The Giving Practice team supports philanthropy organizations like yours in discovering your possibilities, living your values and achieving your goals. - **Ecosystem**: Our greatest potential as philanthropic organizations lies within our interconnectedness and ability to move sector and structural societal progress together. We nurture collaboration and leverage the power of the collective to advocate for and create a resilient ecosystem capable of driving sustainable solutions. Our mission, values and vision are anchored in the belief that meaningful impact emerges when philanthropy supports grantee partners to self-determine and drive change for their communities. ****Our Mission**** We grow philanthropy's capacity to do transformative work toward redistributing resources and power to underinvested communities in the Northwest and beyond. ****Our Vision**** Equity and racial justice for all communities.
