GRANTS

Since its inception in 1981, Threshold has pioneered and experimented with collaborative philanthropy in pursuit of positive change in the world. Our grantmaking serves as a quiet catalyst for the social and environmental change movements nationally and internationally by annually raising nearly $2,000,000 from Threshold network members to fund innovative non-profit organizations.

Threshold’s grantmaking engages our volunteer network of members who bring a wide array of philanthropic experience to the process. Each annual grant cycle is a learning environment for members new to philanthropy and provides more experienced members opportunities to catalyze interest in areas of their own expertise.

In our quest to effectively mobilize philanthropic dollars and invest in new ideas and strategies, we regularly review and renew our grantmaking program.
