About GRANTMAKERS

What is GRANTMAKERS of Oregon and Southwest Washington?

GRANTMAKERS of Oregon and Southwest Washington is one of 32 regional associations across the country.  While each regional association is a distinct entity reflecting its geographic reach, we all share some common traits that serve the funding community:

  • We connect a diverse membership—large, small, private, public, corporate, community, family, new, seasoned;
  • Through our networks, we collectively hold local intelligence on issues and practices;
  • Locally, nationally and internationally, we move information efficiently and effectively;
  • And, we all value and nurture a culture of sharing.

GRANTMAKERS is about funders coming together to exchange ideas, share information, and learn more about philanthropy’s possibilities.
