When Funders Move Together: What Collective Action Can Unlock

14-10-2026 14:00:00

English

Some of the biggest barriers to systems change sit beyond the reach of any one funder. When funders move together, they can do more than combine capital. They can align around shared needs, connect complementary efforts, bring different institutions and sectors into the same conversation, share lessons from what they are seeing across portfolios and geographies, and use their collective influence to remove barriers that affect many organisations at once. This session explores what becomes possible when philanthropy acts collectively around challenges that no single funder could address alone.

What can funders unlock together that none of them could achieve alone?

Live interpretation will be available in Spanish, French, Portuguese and Arabic.
