Philanthropy Massachusetts: Transforming philanthropy for a thriving Commonwealth

Join us for a special briefing on March 25th at 1 p.m. as we introduce our new strategic direction and share how we are evolving to ensure that philanthropy in Massachusetts leads the nation in generosity and impact.

This is an invitation to learn who we are becoming — and why it matters for philanthropy across the Commonwealth.

In one focused, engaging session, we will walk through our vision, our priorities, and what makes this next chapter different: deeper cross-sector partnerships and meaning making, stronger statewide networks, and a clear commitment to helping philanthropy Learn, Connect, Lead, and Act in new ways. This includes:

  • New funder programming — curated conversations with luminaries who are redefining leadership as the landscape changes; the introduction of a Philanthropy Massachusetts  Senior Fellows program; and deeper exploration of what data means for philanthropic strategy and decision-making.
  • Networks as laboratories for innovation — convening philanthropy, nonprofits, and partners to test ideas, surface learning, and advance collective action in ways only we as a statewide philanthropic network can.
  • Aligned nonprofit support — strengthening capacity-building and services so nonprofits and funders can move forward together with greater effectiveness.

We have exciting programming in the pipeline — including an April 8th session on advancing arts, culture, and democracy in partnership with Harvard Kennedy School Culture and Civil Society Initiative and Harvard Loeb Fellowship, our 3rd Aligning for Impact program on May 20th  focused on impact within the MA Small Business ecosystem, and so much more.

Join us on March 25th for:
  • A clear overview of our new strategic direction
  • Honest context about the challenges and opportunities ahead
  • How our work is changing — and what it means for funders and partners
  • Opportunities to engage, collaborate, and help shape what comes next
Come meet Philanthropy Massachusetts — and see how we’re working for you.
