Our Mission
The Chronicle of Philanthropy empowers philanthropy, nonprofit professionals, and everyone seeking to make meaningful change by providing insightful and valuable information and resources.
We have two fundamental objectives:
- We aim to strengthen the philanthropic and nonprofit world by connecting it with accurate and relevant information; by providing tools and resources to help professionals grow and succeed; by surfacing innovative and creative ideas to help the field do better; and by holding philanthropy accountable for its actions.
- We aim to broaden and deepen public understanding of philanthropy and nonprofits by explaining the essential role this $6 trillion sector plays in our everyday lives, by telling stories about philanthropy’s successes and failures in tackling society’s challenges, and by inspiring individuals to join in strengthening their communities and world.
Our Vision
We seek to build a vibrant nonprofit sector embraced by the public, with resources mobilized at scale to effectively solve problems, promote thriving communities, and address society’s greatest challenges.
