Welcome to the North Carolina Network of Grantmakers, a membership organization of over 100 foundations, corporate giving programs and donor-advised funds that make significant grants to North Carolina charitable causes.

Purpose

The Network is our state's only forum for information-sharing and cooperation among North Carolina grantmakers. We help our members share knowledge, experiences and lessons learned – and provide opportunities for N.C. foundations and corporate grantmakers to work together to improve the effectiveness and ultimate impact of grantmaking.

The Network helps North Carolina grantmakers:

• Foster and build closer peer relationships
• Gain a deeper understanding of important North Carolina issues
• Create a body of knowledge regarding philanthropy in the state
• Take advantage of education and networking opportunities
• Leverage funds and expertise from outside the state
• Coordinate grantmaking efforts and collaborate more closely

"Our vision is to create an organization that gives us the ability to come together, learn together, build relationships, and create a body of knowledge that will enable us to do our grantmaking work more effectively, both individually and collectively. "

--Tony Pipa, Founding Chair, NCNG

Background

The Network was organized in September 2002 by a group of leading grantmakers who appreciated the need for a statewide forum to connect and support trustees, staff and advisors of grantmaking organizations. The Network is a charitable venture operating under the fiscal oversight of the North Carolina Community Foundation.

Thank you for your interest in the North Carolina Network of Grantmakers!
