Founded in 1996, National Philanthropic Trust (NPT) is the largest national, independent public charity that manages donor-advised funds and one of the leading grantmaking institutions in the U.S. Since its founding, NPT has raised more than $92.2 billion in charitable funding and has made more than 1M grants exceeding $44.7 billion to nonprofits around the world.
Our experienced staff of philanthropic professionals is fully prepared to help you establish and administer your donor-advised fund. NPT is led by a Board of Trustees composed of nationally known experts in philanthropy and business.
Independent Sector is the national membership organization that connects, strengthens, and advocates for nonprofits and philanthropies.
Our vision is a charitable sector that is healthy, trusted, and equitable and helps all people in the United States thrive in a vibrant civil society and just democracy.
Independent Sector formed in 1980 when Coalition of National Voluntary Organizations and the National Council on Philanthropy merged into one umbrella organization to help promote sensible national policies and communicate the value of a strong and unified charitable community.
From its headquarters in Washington, DC, Independent Sector unites nonprofits and philanthropy to strengthen the charitable sector, identifying structural challenges and mobilizing the sector around policy and practice solutions.
At DonorsChoose, we believe that every child carries remarkable potential, and education is the key to unlocking and shaping it.
Since 2000, we have connected donors and partners directly with public school teachers, raising $1.9 billion to fulfill teacher requests for school supplies. These resources bring learning to life: A science lab for experimentation. Flexible seating that supports focus. A classroom library to expand perspectives. Technology that opens doors to new possibilities.
We serve every corner of public education nationwide — including public schools, public charter schools, and Head Start centers — with a focus on directing resources to the classrooms facing the greatest barriers to opportunity.
Behind this work is a passionate and dedicated team, united by a shared belief in empowering educators to help every student reach their potential. Together, we’re building the most direct, transparent, and impactful way to support students.
