About Philanthropy News

What we cover

Philanthropy News reports on the people and organizations that give money away and the nonprofits that put it to work.

We cover foundations, grants, nonprofit organizations, donors, corporate giving and the policy that governs them, mainly in the United States and the United Kingdom, and major international gifts as they happen.

Our stories are built from public records and announcements: nonprofit tax filings, charity registers, foundation and grantee announcements, government decisions and interviews. Every story names its sources and is checked by an editor before publication.

How we work

Our stories start from primary sources, and every one names and links them. Before publication, every story is checked against those sources in a separate fact-check. Our editorial standards explain how we work, including our use of AI tools, and our corrections policy explains how we fix mistakes.

Bylines and desks

Stories carry the name of the person who wrote them or of the Philanthropy News desk that produced them. A desk byline means our team produced the story for that section, in the way our editorial standards describe.

Ownership and funding

Philanthropy News is funded by advertising and sponsorship. Paid content is always labelled, and advertisers have no say over our editorial content. How advertising works.
