What is the Forum?
United Philanthropy Forum (or Forum for short) is the largest and most diverse network in American philanthropy. We are a membership network of more than 90 regional and national philanthropy-serving organizations (PSOs) working to make philanthropy better. Our mission is to lead, strengthen, inform, connect and mobilize a national network of organizations that advance philanthropy's impact for the common good.
