Networking & Collaboration

• Networking Opportunities
• Collaborations These are groups of members that work together to leverage the power of their giving: by pooling funds and making grant decisions together OR "aligning" funding to some of the same grantees OR (and most common) simply having regular strategic discussions and presentations by experts. Each group is championed by a member or several members of SDG. Our current collaborations include:

• Homelessness Working Group
