Harnessing the power of philanthropy to effect change

PFC helps foundations and other grantmakers collaborate with partners from civil society, business and governments to strengthen the common good.

Annual Report 2025

In 2025, PFC stepped up to guide our members in navigating uncertainty and collaborating more strategically.

From our Meeting the Moment initiative and national policy roundtables, to a good governance accelerator, affinity group discussions, and CEO peer exchanges, we delivered responsive programming and thought leadership to help foundations mitigate risk, exchange ideas, and support communities.
