At least 80% of SPF’s membership must be derived from leaders of currently or previously funded grassroots organizations and represent diverse issues and experience. Serving in five-year terms, SPF’s membership is constantly evolving thanks to the board and membership’s commitment to nominating potential candidates whose work and values align with those of the foundation. They meet at least twice a year and serve on committees, including grantmaking policy and grants decisions, finance and investments, and are actively involved in the organization.
