Growth Philanthropy Network

Top-performing nonprofit programs rarely spread widely from their originating sites to other communities that need them. To address this problem, the Growth Philanthropy Network (GPN) is creating a national capital marketplace that provides funding and management assistance to help exceptional nonprofit organizations and programs expand regionally and nationally.

GPN's work is built on a belief that broad distribution and replication of proven programs will result in large-scale improvements in the lives of children and families. To achieve this goal requires a well-organized, enduring system of expansion financing and support, a system that can fundamentally transform the way growth capital is raised and applied in the nonprofit sector.

However, to create a robust capital market that reliably supports scaling of top social programs, GPN will need the involvement of pioneers, philanthropists, entrepreneurs and seasoned philanthropy professionals. Only by working together can we succeed. In this spirit, we invite all of you who are interested in spreading programs that work, and in helping to promote a growth capital marketplace to contact us for information about how you can participate.
