The Philanthropy Champions program aims to celebrate, spotlight, and advance diverse forms of philanthropy.

We are delighted to introduce you to the second group of CNE Philanthropy Champions!

By recognizing champions in our midst, who give generously in a multitude of ways to make our communities better, we seek to:

  • Expand narrow definitions and understandings of philanthropy and celebrate the multitude of ways in which communities give (including Time, Treasure, Ties, Talent, and Testimony).
  • Highlight the immense giving, agency, and creativity of philanthropic champions within our communities especially from underrepresented and marginalized communities.
  • Help support and grow the nominated Philanthropy Champions’ work through recognition, publicity, and by making community connections.

You can find more information on our 2023 Philanthropy Champions webpage. If you have any questions you can reach out to CNE at staff@thecne.org.
