A Network for the Common Good

Advocacy

As the largest and most diverse network in American philanthropy, United Philanthropy Forum plays a pivotal role in amplifying the voice of PSOs, the Forum network, and the broader philanthropic sector by raising awareness of important causes, uplifting key initiatives, and advancing fair and just public policy solutions.

Advocacy is the essential and necessary means by which the Forum and our member PSOs support and advance philanthropy’s impact for the common good and foster vibrant, healthy, and equitable communities.

Our Continued Commitment to Racial Equity

Advancing racial equity, diversity, and inclusion in philanthropy is a key pillar of work and core strategic priority at the Forum. We envision a courageous philanthropic sector that catalyzes a just and equitable society where all can participate and prosper. It is not possible for us to achieve this vision without addressing racial equity. Therefore, we fundamentally reject any attempt to distort, deliberately mischaracterize, or diminish the vital work underway in philanthropy to advance racial equity and racial justice.
