GMA Funder Community’s four-session pooled giving and learning experience accepts grants from donors eager to identify and fund community-driven solutions to a large-scale problem affecting people across the country. Following three learning sessions with experts, participants meet with prospective grantees and then decided together how to allocate the Fund’s dollars.
These participant-driven funds take place once a year and have addressed issues like Trauma and Resilience, Responses to the Opioid Crisis, and Environmental Justice. We welcome recommendations for prospective focus areas. Find links below to read about past funds.
Fund Participation
The participant-directed Fund is a project under the fiscal sponsorship of Philanthropy Massachusetts. Participation is open to private foundations, corporate giving programs, donor-advised fund accounts, and individual donors.
