Shaping the future together
Global Philanthropists Community
Achieve your impact goals with the help of us, and your peers.
We all want a better world. But the challenges facing the planet are too complex to solve alone. Philanthropists must work together, combining skills and resources, to collaborate on projects with the power to create lasting change. Joining the Global Philanthropists Community (GPC), can help you maximize your impact.
Our members-only network connects you with peer philanthropists. So together, you can drive philanthropic innovations – and shape the future you want to see.

GPC Insights
Every month we share, podcasts, interviews, articles and much more with our members. Read our latest interview with one of our GPC members ‘Visioning process for my venture philanthropy focused on entrepreneurship’.
I thought the call was very helpful this morning. You assembled an amazing group of philanthropists who have much to contribute to a think tank. My favorite quote was to fall in love with the problem, not the solution.
Thank you for this and for the work you are doing within the UBS philanthropist community, I do believe it’s extremely valid and needed.
Thank you for that brief session. I wanted to let you know that as a result of the discussion I have numerous ideas to follow up on. This was a good way to think outside of the box and to get some input from others. Well done!
