Mountain Philanthropies is an initiative representing the diverse interests of its multiple funders, referred to as Partners. Partners seek progress on a host of equity, social justice and sustainability matters affecting society and the planet. Registered as an LLC, Mountain Philanthropies is results-driven and able to deploy different types of capital—charitable, issue advocacy or for-profit, whatever best drives positive outcomes. Additionally, the team dedicates its time and supplemental Partner resources to strengthen the capacity of grantees, without whom progress is not possible. The organization’s approach is to listen, and to be flexible, decisive and collaborative.
Mountain Philanthropies collaborates with grantees and other funders to ensure all people have a voice in society, the opportunity to fulfill their potential, and access to a more resilient planet. A sample of projects includes:
Criminal Justice Reform
Supporting safe, equitable, and logic-driven reforms to a system that too often is skewed by antiquated policies, race, and social and economic status.
