With the concurrence of economic and civil society crises in the United States, public trust in American institutions and nonprofit organizations has plummeted in recent years.

Founded in 1949, the Council on Foundations is a nonprofit membership association that guides philanthropies as they advance their grantmaking. Informed by a diverse membership of more than 950 grantmakers representing private, community, family, and corporate foundations, the council is well-positioned to provide policy insights, legal assistance, and networking opportunities for its members.
