The Philanthropy Connection
The Philanthropy Connection’s mission is to inspire, teach, and enable like-minded women to engage in collective philanthropy. We give high-impact grants to organizations in Massachusetts that work to improve the quality of life for individuals and families living here. Forming connections is at the heart of what we do we work hard to create opportunities for our members to connect and learn from each other, as well as from the local organizations we support. How does collective giving work? To join The Philanthropy Connection, women are asked to give a $1,125 membership donation; women 35 years old and younger are asked to donate $575. Each spring, $1,000 or $500 of each member’s donation is given directly as pooled grants to local non-profits. The more women who join, the more money we have to give away. As our 5-year anniversary approaches in June, we hope to have cumulatively awarded over $1 million to more than 45 exceptional non-profits.
