Donor Networks

Philanthropy serving organizations act as important educators and advocates for their members. As dedicated partners in the sector, our goal is to help you more effectively serve the donors and families in your network by providing relevant content and expertise. Together, we act as a catalyst for good by helping thousands of giving families each year.

NCFP works with philanthropy serving organizations (PSOs), affinity groups, and regional associations to provide essential, objective information for your members. We recognize that philanthropic networks are partners in helping donors and families achieve their goals. We offer a variety of resources to help you engage donors in meaningful discussions about their giving goals.
