Grantmaker Affinity Groups
Representatives of funders meet to exchange information, share insight and participate in discussions centered around different issues. These self-directed groups, comprised of community, corporate, family and independent foundation representatives share similar areas of focus, set agendas, identify resources and determine the regularity of their meetings.
