Philanthropy Missouri

Philanthropy Missouri (philmo) is a membership organization for Missouri grantmakers that equips, connects, and energizes them for thoughtful action and greater impact. Throughout the year, philmo hosts roundtables, discussions, and workshops for corporate, family, donor-advised, community, private, and tax-supported foundations. Our members gain knowledge about effective practices in Philanthropy, discuss pressing issues facing their region and or the state, and connect to their peers through networking events. Philmo holds innovative programs, including topic-focused convenings on sector diversity, equity, and inclusion; education initiatives; and opportunities for relationship building. Philmo provides robust services and timely resources to members, including individualized research, reports, and "what gives? ", a bi-weekly e-newsletter providing sector news. This strategy allows funders to foster relationships across the state, pursue collaborative learning and funding possibilities, and expands services to a larger audience.
