WE PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY AND COST-EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS, RESOURCES, AND CONNECTIONS THAT MAXIMIZE OUR MEMBERS' DOLLARS AND TIME FOR THE BENEFIT OF DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND CAUSES. WE WERE FOUNDED IN 1995 AS THE ASSOCIATION OF SMALL FOUNDATIONS, BY A GROUP OF SMALL-STAFFED FOUNDATIONS WHO RECOGNIZED THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF SMALL FOUNDATIONS AND THE BENEFITS OF BRINGING THEM TOGETHER FOR LEARNING AND INFORMATION SHARING. OUR GROWTH HAS RESULTED IN GREAT PART BY OUR WARM AND WELCOMING CULTURE THAT IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES: RELATIONSHIPS COME FIRST, ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL, LEARNING IS A LIFE LONG JOURNEY, QUALITY IS ESSENTIAL, AND OUR INSPIRATION COMES FROM THE COLLECTIVE IMPACT OF OUR MEMBERS. IN 2014 THE ORGANIZATION REBRANDED TO EXPONENT PHILANTHROPY SO THAT IT COULD SERVE ALL FUNDERS WHO PRACTICE PHILANTHROPY WITH FEW OR NO STAFF. OUR MISSION, TO EMPOWER PHILANTHROPISTS TO LEVERAGE THEIR RESOURCES AND AMPLIFY THEIR IMPACT, IS CARRIED OUT VIA THREE STRATEGIC PILLARS: GUIDE, CONNECT AND CHAMPION.
