Our Funding Partners

The Gender Fund brings together leading foundations, philanthropists, corporations, and other donors to commit significant funding to gender equality. Each Funding Partner comes with unique perspectives and experiences. All are connected by a deep commitment to advance gender equality and women’s leadership across the globe, and a fundamental belief in the importance of a systems change approach to do so.

By joining the collaborative, Funding Partners pool their resources to accelerate their impact, and benefit from multiple opportunities to share experiences and convene and learn together about what it takes to achieve inclusive impact at scale.

*Anonymous Donors – Co-Impact has a few donors that are supporting the Gender Fund but prefer not to disclose their support publicly.

Lead Donor

Lead donors commit at least $25M over five years to the Gender Fund and play a crucial role in the development and success of the Fund. They are invited to take a seat on the Gender Fund Advisory Board. Lead donors to the Gender Fund who have committed over $100 million over ten years across both the Co-Impact Foundational Fund and Gender Fund are invited to nominate a representative to serve on the Board of Directors of Co-Impact.

Champion Donor

Champion donors commit $15 million over five years to the Gender Fund, are invited to become members of the Gender Fund Philanthropy Council and play a key role in supporting the mission of the Gender Fund.

Council members are invited to part of the Advisory Board meetings to participate in the discussions, and one member of the Philanthropy Council serves on the Advisory Board. The Philanthropy Council may jointly define additional topics where the Council may want to engage together.

Africa Gender Initiative

Philanthropy has the potential to do more and do better to support women and girls by coming together. The Africa Gender Initiative (AGI), led by the African Philanthropy Forum, will act as a platform for bringing together African Philanthropists and Foundations to address gender injustice, by pooling, leveraging and directing new resources to create a world where all women and girls thrive. The initial activity of the AGI is to support the work of the Co-Impact Gender Fund in Africa.

Wider Funding Community

Our broader community of funders commit between $1.5 to $5 million over three to five years to the Gender Fund and are an integral part of Co-Impact. All our funding partners have the opportunity to come together through a range of learning events and targeted convenings. They benefit from the experience, diligence, and academic rigor of the Co-Impact team, and from the track record and platform Co-Impact has built.
