** MEMBERSHIP
------------------------------------------------------------


** Member Dues Update
------------------------------------------------------------

To support our efforts to go deeper in practice change work with our contributing members, bring PEAK into better alignment with comparable philanthropy-supporting organizations, and ensure more equitable dues amounts in comparison to total annual giving across our membership, we are adding new Organization Member dues tiers which impact the largest grantmaking institutions.

In 2023–24, organizations which annually give $100M+ will have an increased baseline dues of $10,000 per year. In 2025–26, organizations which annually give $200M+ will have an increased baseline dues of $15,000 per year.

We solicited feedback from impacted members before finalizing this shift and heard overwhelming support. Thank you to these funders for their ongoing membership and partnership with PEAK Grantmaking!

The latest news about our sector partnerships and how PEAK is advocating for more equitable grantmaking practices at conferences, convenings, and community conversations:

Programs and Knowledge Director Lita Pardi was a part of Philanthropy Southeast’s faculty for Philanthropy Essentials, a course for newcomers to philanthropy. Lita’s session focused on the various investment strategies grantmakers can use to maximize their community impact, from supporting advocacy efforts to mission- and program-related investments.

President and CEO Satonya Fair participated in ABFE’s Black Women in Philanthropy Leadership Retreat. The annual summit focused on the theme of radical rest and healing and featured speakers includingDr. Yanique Redwood ([link removed]) ,Temi F. Bennett, Esq. ([link removed]) , andErika Totten ([link removed]) , among others. This annual leadership event serves as a unique time for women leaders to nourish, heal, and network with advisors and colleagues in the field.

Satonya also attended a John S. and James L. Knight Foundation community engagement event where board and staff members gathered in Akron, Ohio, with local leaders to celebrate the foundation’s 72nd anniversary. During the event, President and CEO Alberto Ibargüen announced more than $31 million innew grant commitments ([link removed]) to support strategic efforts in the Akron metro community. Having been raised in Akron, Satonya has seen firsthand how the foundation’s $81 million in investments since 2012 have helped strengthen the city’s civic and economic infrastructure.
