Merging Mission and Assets

Confluence Philanthropy is a non-profit network of over 175 private, public, and community foundations. We build capacity and provide technical assistance to enhance the ability of foundations to align the management of assets with organizational mission to promote environmental sustainability and social justice. Confluence is a recognized affinity group of the Council on Foundations. We are supported by our members.

Confluence is not an investment advisor. Therefore we do not provide advice or guidance to venture funds, social enterprises, or grant seekers about how to secure program-related investments nor any other form of capital. We do not share the contacts of our members nor do we network fundraisers to philanthropic investors.
