About Governance

GRANTMAKERS of Oregon and Southwest Washington views governance as the people, policies, and processes that provide the framework within which our member organizations make decisions and take actions to optimize outcomes related to their grantmaking.

 

GRANTMAKERS Guiding Principles

As new accountability resources become available, we’ll add them to our resources and will publicize opportunities for you to participate in teleconferences with national experts on a variety of subjects pertaining to good governance. If you have a particular need or find a resource you would like to share with colleagues.

By year’s end we hope to have crafted a set of guiding practices and principles . . . By creating our own standards of operation we can continue the flexible, entrepreneurial spirit that stands behind much of philanthropy.
