About this grant
This grant supports Ariadne’s core operations, including membership services and administrative costs. Ariadne is a European network of funders committed to promoting and protecting civil society and human rights. It operates as a project of Global Dialogue, a United Kingdom registered nonprofit based in London, and currently connects more than 600 funders and philanthropists. Key achievements during the previous grant period included hosting over 20 online and in-person events, publishing resources tailored to funders’ needs, launching a mentoring program, and convening members for the annual Grant Skills Week. During this grant period, Ariadne will undertake a strategic review process and deliver another set of events tailored to funders needs amidst growing restrictions and fewer resources. Established in 2009, Ariadne strengthens philanthropy by helping funders act strategically, collaborate effectively and welcome new donors into the field with greater impact.
