About this grant
The goal of Worldwide Initiatives for Grantmaker Support is to strengthen the global infrastructure for philanthropy. Worldwide Initiatives for Grantmaker Support is a global network linking grantmaker associations and support organizations through international exchange, information services, networking, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities. Recent accomplishments include the organization of peer learning events and exchange visits, the hosting of a global forum, and the publication of two global philanthropy status reports. In 2011, the grantee incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the United States and established an office in Brazil. Over the upcoming grant period, the grantee will pursue three main objectives: 1) strengthen its institutional capacity; 2) secure its financial sustainability; and 3) strengthen its role as a global leader advocating for an improved environment for philanthropy.
