Program & Operations Coordinator, Philanthropy Together

The Organization

Philanthropy Together (PhT) is a global initiative to help giving circles grow and thrive. Our mission is to democratize and diversify philanthropy by bringing in hundreds of thousands more people into the collective giving movement by 2025: people of color, women, LGBTQIA+ people, those without wealth, youth, people in rural communities, religious minorities, various political affiliations and many, many more. We imagine a world where everybody is engaging in meaningful giving through robust conversations, and by building bridges with fellow givers & funding recipients to create change in the world.

Philanthropy Together is committed to creating a more just and equitable society. Our values are foundational to our work and are centered on diversity—specifically racial diversity—equity and inclusion. We also value trust, respect, and building strong relationships with our community; continuously learning and improving our work; and creating space for joy, fun, and passion.
