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.
Philanthropy In/Sight
With support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Ford Foundation for ongoing development and improvement, the Foundation Center is making Philanthropy In/Sight™ available to members of San Diego Grantmakers free of charge for one year. Philanthropy In/Sight™ is an interactive mapping tool enabling grantmakers to visualize the spending patterns of private foundations and public charities through a familiar Google Map interface.The maps pinpoint the locations of grantmakers and recipients, depicting where foundation dollars are having the greatest effect or where funding is needed most, and provide detailed information about funders, recipients, and grants. Click here (or on the button in the left-hand navigation menu) to access this resource. By using Philanthropy In/Sight™, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of use that appear in the “Terms of Use License.”
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 858/875-3333 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.
If you are a SDGrantmakers member and would like more
information about this discounted Directors & Officers Insurance
package, review this information or contact Maya Harris, Staff Attorney, Council on Foundations (703-879-0714).

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 858/875-3333
or nancy@sdgrantmakers.org.
