Strengthening the Commonwealth by strengthening philanthropy.

About Us

In a Commonwealth known for firsts, Philanthropy Massachusetts brings philanthropic leaders together to shape what comes next. As the only statewide convener of funders and nonprofits, we facilitate learning, engagement, action, and partnership  within the philanthropic community and across sectors to maximize generosity and impact. 

Our work with members and partners is grounded in our LEAP framework:

Learn: Philanthropic leaders develop shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the Commonwealth — and learn from one another and the communities we serve.

Engage: Create a community where philanthropic leaders build trusted relationships, experience joy, and grow a culture of giving and shared responsibility.

Act: Strengthen the muscle for collaboration by piloting pooled funds, shared data, and cross-sector initiatives that deliver results.

Partner: Work across sectors to advance solutions that strengthen communities and the Commonwealth.
