About this grant
Common Purpose South Africa promotes effective leadership in complex and multicultural situations through leadership development programs. Its programs, offered in Johannesburg and Cape Town, include the Meridian, Matrix, Navigator, and International Navigator, and offer leadership development to established and emerging leaders. These programs aim to improve decisionmaking resulting in more effective solutions to common problems and more engaged and active citizens, as well as to develop a new generation of leaders who lead beyond their authority. All the programs include participants from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Past support enabled the grantee to subsidize the participation of nonprofit sector leaders in its programs, who would otherwise not have been able to afford the cost of the programs. This grant renewal will support the continued participation of nonprofit sector leaders in the leadership development programs offered by the grantee.
