About this grant
The Southern African Community Grantmakers Leadership Forum is a network of community grantmakers that was founded in 2010. It brings members together in a learning and knowledge-sharing environment to strengthen their ability to effectively support the communities they serve. Leaders of community grantmaking organizations share experiences, resources, and skills to improve their practice and strengthen the community philanthropy field in southern Africa. Previous support enabled the grantee to host learning events for members, support collaboration efforts among members, and participate in regional and global learning events on community philanthropy. This grant will support the grantee’s efforts to host learning events for its members, increase its membership and reach in southern Africa, develop communications platforms that encourage knowledge sharing among members, and become more active in regional and global networks of grantmakers.
