Council on Foundations

Council on Foundations

 

The National Council on Foundations (COF) has served grantmakers for 75 years. COF helps its 17,000+ foundations increase the impact of their giving worldwide. With members giving away double-digit billions of dollars annually, the Council is doing critically important work. COF is the leading sector advocate and works to increase trust toward philanthropy, something of extraordinary value. This is because building trust fosters solid relationships — a necessary step for positively influencing the giving practices of governments, multi-laterals, and others — some of which provide far more development funding than the philanthropy sector. COF helped get 800+ foundations to pledge larger and more flexible multi-year funding to its grantees.
