About Partner Membership

Partners can join as NCG Members. Membership is organization-wide: your entire staff and board receive member privileges. Membership is for one calendar year. You may arrange to pay on a different fiscal year schedule.

Eligibility

Grantmaker Membership is open to organizations or individuals who give at least $25,000 annually. In addition, the grantmaking program must be the most significant part of the applicant’s activities. Grantmaker categories include: 

  • Philanthropy-serving organizations (PSOs)  
  • Consulting companies and organizations offering services to foundations, donors and/or the philanthropic sector 
  • Individual philanthropic consultants

Please note that solicitation is strictly prohibited at NCG events. All NCG members agree that they will not solicit funding for organizations and/or projects, solicit on behalf of a business or services, or pitch products at NCG events, nor will any guests they bring.
