In Colorado Springs, a new model that brings together ten powerful grantmaking foundations under one roof is in the works. The Philanthropy Collective is owned and managed by 315 Collective LLC, a group of six investors.

The structure opens to outdoor patios to "capitalize on Colorado" and inspire "serendipitous sharing" throughout. Read the Entire Article
