Philanthropy California serves as a unified voice on public policy issues impacting our state, sector, and communities. We work to build a strong philanthropic presence that connects government, funders, and communities to address our state's most pressing issues. Our statewide alliance also advocates for policies promoting the well-being of California's diverse communities.

Philanthropy CA focuses on the following public policy priorities:

• Inclusive and Fair Democracy
• Climate and Disaster Preparedness and Resilience
• Supporting a Resilient and Sustainable Nonprofit Sector
• Advancing Racial and Social Justice

Through our policy work, we have advocated for state and federal budgets that support California's communities, worked to ensure a fair and accurate census and redistricting cycle, and advocated for equitable legislation to help communities across the state thrive.

Philanthropy California recognizes that no single sector or organization can change systems alone. We strive to create unique opportunities for funders to learn and collaborate on policy issues important to our sector, and to partner with state government and local, state, and national organizations to advance our collective work.

We invite you to register for one of our signature policy events, attend our upcoming programming, and reach out to learn how you can join our efforts to create a more equitable California.
