Public Policy

United Philanthropy Forum influences public policy to create a more supportive environment for philanthropy to flourish and to advocate for the policy issues and causes that are important to the Forum’s members.

Philanthropic Practice

We work with PSOs to develop and implement strategies that leverage the full knowledge and skills within our network to develop high-quality education opportunities to advance philanthropic practice that can be delivered by our members throughout the network in a consistent and efficient way.
