Philanthropy Partners of the Cape and Islands (PPCI) is a nonprofit, volunteer-led membership organization (with only one part-time remote staff member) that was founded in 1991 to support and connect nonprofit professionals, while celebrating charitable giving on the Cape and Islands. PPCI has grown over the years to meet the needs of the membership and offers four educational luncheons, two networking events, and other networking opportunities, at no cost or discounted for members.

PPCI also hosts the annual Philanthropy Day conference – a day of speakers knowledgeable on a multitude of topics, extended networking opportunities, and a luncheon featuring philanthropic award presentations. Cape & Island fundraising professionals, members of boards, local foundations, and business sponsors that support nonprofits across the region all attend Philanthropy Day. PPCI members receive discounted admission to this event.
