Membership
The Forum is not a traditional membership association; we are a vibrant network that is leading the field by activating the talent, resources and connections of our members in a proactive way. The Forum relies on the active participation of all of our members and leverages the skills and knowledge of each member to benefit all other Forum members and the philanthropy they support.

Where Philanthropy's Infrastructure Comes Together
In 2017, United Philanthropy Forum opened our membership to national philanthropy-serving organizations (PSOs) for the first time, and the initial response has exceeded our expectations. Over the past two years our membership has grown from 33 regional PSOs to nearly 80 regional and national PSOs. Our network represents more than 7,000 foundations and other funders, making the Forum the largest network serving philanthropy in America.
Membership Benefits
Partnerships & Collaborations
The Forum will work one-on-one with each national PSO member to design a customized partner plan to help leverage the Forum’s nationwide network of regional and national PSOs to share content and learning through programming, communications and partnerships.
If you have questions about the membership application or about processing your membership investment,
