International Grantmaking

About this issue

In an increasingly complex and globalized world, many grantmakers now view international engagement as an imperative.

As new global initiatives encourage more cross-border and cross-sectoral collaboration, and GivingUSA finds 2016 giving for “international affairs” totaling $22 billion, we devote this season’s issue to international grantmaking. Along with a primer and our resource roundup, you’ll find multiple angles on global philanthropy, from an examination of Sustainable Development Goals and the “closing space” for civil society to diaspora philanthropy, gender lens investing, the international role of community foundations, grantmaking in China, and more.

The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation’s Brad Cameron-Cooper and Paragon Philanthropy’s Andrzej Kozlowski serve as guest co-editors.
