Join Funders Together

Funders Together to End Homelessness is a diverse network of over 230 philanthropic organizations dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness. Because homelessness has no single cause or solution, our members are engaged in many grantmaking activities, ranging from homelessness to related areas like housing, health care, education, workforce development, child welfare, domestic violence, and food security.  

Our members include all types of foundations—private, operating, family, community—as well as corporate giving programs, United Ways, and individual philanthropists. Becoming a Funders Together member will help improve your grantmaking impact and allow you to contribute to a larger national movement to prevent and end homelessness.

 

Funders Together Membership

Funders Together offers two types of membership: Full Membership and Basic Membership.

Full Membership

Full Members generously support Funders Together’s work through paying annual dues. In return, we help connect you to peers, national partners, and the latest best practices that will help improve your grantmaking and advance the movement to prevent and end homelessness. Full members join Funders Together for:

Basic Membership

Basic Members do not pay annual dues, but show support for and stay connected to what’s happening in the homelessness field by being part of our network. Basic members receive our twice-monthly newsletter and invitations to Funders Together events and webinars. Basic members do not have access to most online resources and do not qualify for member discounts for events and webinars.

If you are unable to become a Full Member, please consider joining us as a Basic Member, which allows us to show the homelessness field and policymakers that over 230 funders across country care about housing stability and homelessness.

 

Membership Dues

Funders Together’s membership dues are determined by your organization’s grantmaking budget for preventing and ending homelessness, per the scale below. Your dues contribution makes a significant difference in our ability to sustain our work.

We understand the budgeting realities of our members and strive to make our membership dues as reasonable as possible. We also know that not all of our members have grantmaking budgets specifically dedicated to ending homelessness. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to discuss an appropriate dues level for your organization, contact: Tia Smith, Director of Membership and Programs [email protected] or 617.245.0314 x105.

We joined Funders Together because we believe in the power of philanthropy to play a major role in ending homelessness, and we know we have much to learn from funders across the country.

-Christine Marge, Director of Housing and Financial Stability at United Way of Greater Los Angeles

I am thankful for the local partnerships here in the Pacific Northwest that we’ve been able to create and nurture thanks to the work of Funders Together. Having so many of the right players at the table makes our conversations – and all of our efforts – all the richer and more effective.

-David Wertheimer, Deputy Director at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Very often a lack of jobs and money is not the cause of poverty, but the symptom. The cause may lie deeper in our failure to give our fellow citizens a fair chance to develop their own capacities, in a lack of education and training, in a lack of medical care and housing, in a lack of decent communities in which to live and bring up their children.

-President Lyndon B. Johnson, 1964 State of the Union Address

Funders Together has given me a platform to engage the other funders in my community. Our local funding community has improved greatly to support housing first models and align of resources towards ending homelessness.

-Leslie Strnisha, Vice President at Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland

Our family foundation convenes local funders and key community stakeholders around strategies to end homelessness in Houston. Funders Together members have been invaluable mentors to us in this effort, traveling to our community to share their expertise and examples of best practices from around the nation.

-Nancy Frees Fountain, Managing Director at The Frees Foundation
