GFC began offering these awards to high-achieving partners in 2005, most often as a competitive capstone grant. These grassroots all-stars have achieved exceptional success in organizational development, progress in social change, and regional or global visibility over the course of their GFC partnership. Our goal is to offer a meaningful investment in their future success, on their own terms.
In 2018, we conducted an in-depth assessment to examine how the awards were used, how effective they were, and how we can achieve even better results going forward. To learn more, download the full report or see the highlights below!
