SDGrantmakers Member Services
Did you know that your SDGrantmakers membership entitles you to
discounted rates on some very valuable products and services? See
the details below for a listing of these products and information
on how you can take advantage of these cost-saving discounts.
Library of Sample Documents
Learning from other foundations is one of the most valuable resources
SDGrantmakers has to offer. And what better way to learn than to
have access to the forms, policies and procedures of other foundations?
The Library of Sample Documents is one of our member resources.
The extensive list of sample documents covers a broad range, from
job descriptions to board policies to financial statements.
To learn more about this member service or to request a sample
document please call us at 619/744-2180 or email nancy@sdgrantmakers.org.
Directors & Officers Liability
Insurance
With the increased governmental scrutiny on the philanthropic and
nonprofit sector, many experts strongly recommend that foundations
carry Directors & Officers Insurance to protect both trustees
and the foundation. Through an arrangement with the Council on Foundations
(www.cof.org),
San Diego Grantmakers is pleased to offer its member foundations
access to a discounted Directors & Officers Liability Insurance
Coverage program. The plan was carefully crafted by John A. Edie,
former Senior Vice President and Counsel, Council on Foundations.
If you are a SDGrantmakers member foundation and would like more
information about this discounted Directors & Officers Insurance
package, or if you would like to apply online, please go to http://cof.npo-ins.com/.
If you have questions, please contact Jane Nober at the Council
on Foundations at 800/432-7465 or via email at info@cof.npo-ins.com.
SDGrantmakers is delighted to be partnering with the Council on
Foundations to bring this benefit to its members.

Regional Association Guest
Membership
This service extends member rates on programs to board members of
grantmaking institutions that are members of one regional association
but who live in an area served by a different regional association.
For example, a trustee of a family foundation that belongs to San
Diego Grantmakers lives in Connecticut (a state in which the family
foundation makes no grants). That board member would be eligible
to participate in programs at the Connecticut Council for Philanthropy.
In return a trustee of a CCP member who lives in San Diego would
receive similar benefits.
The benefit of this program lies in the peer network that is created
by the participating board members. The attending board member learns
about another region's philanthropic experience while sharing (and
comparing) his/her own perspective with a wider audience.
For more information contact San Diego Grantmakers at 619/744-2180
or nancy@sdgrantmakers.org.
