Philanthropy California is the alliance of California’s three leading philanthropy-supporting organizations: SoCal Grantmakers (SCG), Northern California Grantmakers (NCG), and Catalyst of San Diego & Imperial Counties. Together, our organizations represent over 600 foundations, corporate funders, philanthropic families and individuals, giving circles, public agencies, and other grantmaking institutions, investing billions of dollars each year to strengthen communities across California and beyond.

Philanthropy California strives to unite philanthropy, government, and community partners across California to address the most pressing issues impacting our state’s communities. Our alliance serves as a unified voice for our state’s philanthropic sector and is committed to: 

• Advocating for equitable policies  and budget priorities affecting California’s communities, philanthropy, and broader civil society 
• Coordinating on climate and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts 
• Forging new cross-sector partnerships to amplify philanthropy’s work
• Creating opportunities and events for California grantmakers to learn, collaborate, and take action
• Supporting a resilient and sustainable nonprofit sector 

Philanthropy California’s programs, events, and other offerings are available to current members of SoCal Grantmakers (SCG), Northern California Grantmakers (NCG), and Catalyst of San Diego & Imperial Counties. No additional membership is required. If you are not a current member of one of our organizations but would like to learn more about Philanthropy California, please contact us.
