MCF members represent a variety of diverse funders with varied funding interests. We believe that the work of grantmakers is strengthened by bringing together the various special interest and affinity groups to allow members with common interests to learn and share together. In our continuing efforts to work more closely with our locally based affinity groups, we are pleased to inform you of our Strategic Partnerships program. It's the intention of this partnership program to help grantmaker affinity groups feel welcome and view MCF as an allied organization as we continue to work together to provide opportunities to learn, discuss and network.
MCF defines strategic partners as peer networks and/or independent coalitions of grantmaking organizations with a shared interest in a particular community of people, subject or funding area. These groups meet regularly and provide a forum to discuss common challenges, share promising practices and lessons, exchange information and facilitate collaborative programs.
