Who Can Join

Philanthropy Missouri offers two types of membership, full and associate. Full Members are philanthropic organizations that make charitable contributions to multiple 501(c)3 nonprofits. Associate Members are professional advisors and consultants whose primary business activity is to support grantmaking and nonprofit service delivery. Members join as an organization, and each of their representatives involved in grantmaking or supporting grantmakers are welcome to attend events and use our services.

While each of their missions is unique, our Members are united by a desire to increase the effectiveness of their charitable giving, and they look to Philanthropy Missouri for programs, information, and research to help them create a positive impact.
