Welcome.

Know someone moving more than $5 million a year in philanthropic capital and who is hungry for collaboration and collective impact? We’d love to be connected! Please share their information here.

Have new issue areas you are focusing on? Want to change your headshot? You can do so here.

Joining Google Group sub-groups

• We have created sub-groups within the main Google Group for members who participate in our Women’s Leadership Group and/or our Single Shingles & Executive Directors of Lean Foundations Group. If you would like to be added to either group, please email us at info@p150.org.

What to post

• Sourcing requests for possible organizations to fund (ex: I’m looking for great criminal justice organizations working on policy in California). The more detailed, the better.

• Posing questions you’re grappling with in your work or seeking thought-partnership on.

• Any resources you find helpful or provocative. We love a conversation with rich back and forths or healthy debate.

How to start a new conversation

• Head to this link and click “New Conversation.” Write it just like an email and send off to the community.

• You can also send an email directly to: philanthropy150@googlegroups.com from your own email account.

Replying to posts

• Don’t be shy, reply! Help members out if you have an org that meets their search criteria or have a resource or idea that would be helpful.

• We strongly encourage you to “Reply All” whenever possible versus reaching out directly to a member. When going direct, the rest of the community misses out on your knowledge. (An exception is RSVPing to a specific event, which can be done directly).

What not to post

• According to our norms, this is a no sales zone. Given the amount of pitching we receive as advisors, this is a place where we are not pitching our services or on behalf of our affiliates. If you’re not sure, feel free to ask!

If you need to post something anonymously

• Ask Jody – she does it all the time!

When you open the Google Group, on the left you can find membership settings and update the frequency in which you receive notifications.

• Each Email: Receives an email every time a message is sent to the Google Group.

  Digest: Receives a single daily email containing all the text and images from up to 25 complete messages. If there are more than 25 messages, you'll get multiple digest emails. 

• Abridged: Receives a single daily email with summaries of up to 150 messages. You see the sender, subject, and a brief summary of each message.

At the end of each year, membership re-ups automatically for the members who completed their end of year survey and attended 3 events across the year (or played a leadership role in one of those programs). Members who haven't been actively engaged are offboarded to keep the network vibrant and responsive (and to make space for other members who are eager to join). That said — we know life happens. If there were extenuating circumstances that impacted your ability to participate, just reach out. We're happy to make space for flexibility when it's needed.
