PEAK Grantmaking

PEAK Grantmaking, a highly engaged member-led community of 6,500 grant and philanthropy professionals and 500 member organizations, is leading the way in equitable, effective grantmaking practices, empowering its members as innovators. This grant will provide general operating support for PEAK (Principles, Equity, Advocacy, Knowledge) to further its strategic plan to transform philanthropy by operationalizing equity-centered, values-driven grantmaking practices.

PEAK Grantmaking is a member-led community of professionals who specialize in grants management for funding organizations. Through targeted programming and research, the organization powers knowledge and fosters collaboration to strengthen practice in philanthropy. Their largest convening is an annual conference that was planned for March 2020 in Seattle with about 1,000 registrants. It was cancelled the week before it was supposed to take place due to COVID-19 community transmission in the area. This unrestricted support will help with the unplanned expenses and capacity required to manage this significant change.
