What is Giving Network?

Giving Network (GNet) works to identify and promote opportunities for philanthropy, with accessible tools and information. With over 75% of charitable giving coming from individuals, understanding how to give and where you can find information and services can make a difference in fulfilling one’s philanthropic goals.

GNet works to increase philanthropic giving. We are a neutral place for individual donors to learn about engaged giving. GNet promotes high engagement philanthropy by offering information, education and opportunities for all donors. GNet functions as a resource and bridge to build better dialogue and understanding of current trends in philanthropy across all constituencies including individual donors, trustees, nonprofits and philanthropic professionals. GNet works across the philanthropic landscape to partner and present effective learning opportunities for new donors engaging in philanthropy. GNet partnerships result in a rich and growing network of individuals and organizations increasingly committed to growing our philanthropic giving.

GNet, an initiative of Associated Grant Makers, was originally funded by New Ventures in Philanthropy, a project of the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers. The former name of the project was Giving New England which included state initiatives also in Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
