Grassroots grantmaking at Global Fund for Children
The learning brief Grassroots Grantmaking at Global Fund for Children outlines the who, what, where, and how of Global Fund for Children’s (GFC) approaches to funding and supporting community-based changemakers. Since 1997, we have invested over $63 million in more than 1,000 partner organizations across 90 countries.
GFC’s funding supports education, gender justice, youth power, climate resilience, solidarity in emergencies, and safety and wellbeing, while emphasizing flexible, long-term funding and non-financial support. GFC also prioritizes participatory grantmaking in which young people and community members are involved in decision-making processes. This resource highlights GFC’s role as a global intermediary funder, mobilizing resources from various foundations and offering critical support to organizations that often lack access to traditional funding sources.
