Philanthropy's role
A new, bold collaboration in philanthropy can work at scale and create more inclusive societies.
The issues we care about are facing strong headwinds. It’s time to step up boldly to the challenge and accelerate proven solutions to maintain momentum. Connecting a global community of funders brings resources, expertise, and experience that allow us to do more together than we could do alone.
This isn’t about growing an individual organization or scaling single solutions. It’s about providing longer-term funding and strategic support to a proven, collaborative approach. Together we can scale change through public or private systems and ensure it is sustained through national commitments and resources, and truly owned locally.
Aligning with your goals, we can curate portfolios, leverage pooled resources, and help you deepen and expand your impact on the issues you care about. Together, we can support larger, longer-term initiatives that work at the true scale of the problem.
How we do this
Back bold, locally-led solutions
We primarily fund women-led organizations rooted in their communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Advance collaboration over competition
Our model supports collective action. We help partners find allies, form coalitions, and scale their impact together.
Invest in strategy and build organizational capability
Our design grants give partners the space, resources, and support they need to sharpen their strategies and capacity before scaling. Our partners tell us this phase is vital and rare.
Commit to the long term
Our grants provide long-term support and our non-financial assistance includes coaching, peer learning, and coalition-building.
Create meaningful engagement
We bring our funding partners and program partners together to learn from each other, unlocking the power of connection and collaboration.
Champion a new kind of philanthropy
As we prove the impact of our collaborative approach, we shift the sector toward larger, longer-term, and more inclusive funding. We use our voice to influence how funding is moved and who gets to lead.
Together, we’re building a growing movement to rethink how philanthropy works and who it serves.
