Company Profile

Company Description:

For nearly 35 years, the Chronicle of Philanthropy has been the premier source of news, information, analysis, and opinion in the rapidly growing nonprofit world. Nearly 350,000 nonprofit professionals, foundation executives, board members, fundraisers, donors, and others working to advance the common good rely on it to stay informed, learn, and broaden their perspective.

Now an independent nonprofit, the Chronicle is innovating and growing as it shines a spotlight on one of the most under-covered but crucial areas of American life.

The Chronicle’s special reports, popular webinars, and free online forums provide indispensable information from top nonprofit experts. Our surveys offer valuable benchmarking data, such as our exclusive poll on how fundraisers view their careers. The annual Philanthropy 50 report on the nation’s top donors is a must-read for fundraisers and charity executives alike. And our opinion section fuels the national conversation with ideas from a wide range of thinkers that include leading nonprofit and foundation executives as well as others who have fresh and innovative ideas.

And now, our latest offering, The Commons, is a major effort to explore how America’s nonprofits and foundations are working to heal the nation’s divides. The Commons has its own dedicated section on our website as well as a weekly newsletter that you can get by subscribing to Philanthropy Today.

The Chronicle also works to help the public better understand the contributions nonprofits and foundations make to society. Its partnership with the Associated Press and the Conversation spread our own content to a wider audience. And our fellowships are helping other media organizations learn more about the nonprofit world and how to report valuable in-depth articles about issues of importance to their readers.
