Global Impact Ventures today announced a commitment to mobilize and deploy $100 million in new philanthropic funding over the next three years to support solutions to urgent challenges in the United States and around the world.
As communities around the globe navigate increasingly complex challenges, organizations working on the front lines often struggle to access the funding and operational support needed to scale their impact. Through this commitment, Global Impact Ventures will help connect philanthropic resources with organizations advancing innovative and effective solutions that improve lives and strengthen communities.
The commitment will support organizations working to address some of today’s most pressing challenges and accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals, including efforts focused on economic opportunity, health, education, climate resilience, and humanitarian needs.
While donors are often ready to act, administrative and operational barriers can slow funding from reaching organizations addressing urgent challenges around the world. Through services such as fiscal sponsorship, grantmaking administration, and charitable program implementation, Global Impact Ventures helps remove these barriers so resources can reach communities more effectively.
“We’re proud to work with organizations advancing solutions to today’s most pressing challenges,” said Global Impact President and CEO Scott Jackson. “This commitment is about helping more resources reach those efforts so they can continue to grow their impact.”
Working alongside a network of more than 250 nonprofit organizations and philanthropic initiatives, Global Impact Ventures helps expand access to funding and strengthen capacity, including Campaign for Nature, Co-Develop, Global Digital Inclusion Partnership, Learning Heroes, Micromentor, Speed School, and WomenLift Health.
This includes support for initiatives like Geneva Global’s Speed School, a flagship accelerated education program that brings out-of-school children back into formal education, working in close partnership with national and regional governments in Ethiopia and Uganda to support parents, schools, education stakeholders, and other community members. The program has helped reintegrate more than one million children back into formal education systems.
The commitment was announced at the Clinton Global Initiative 2026 Annual Meeting. Founded by President Bill Clinton in 2005, the Clinton Global Initiative is a community of doers representing a broad cross section of society and dedicated to the idea that we can accomplish more together than we can apart. Through CGI’s unique model, more than 10,000 organizations have launched more than 4,000 Commitments to Action — new, specific, and measurable projects and programs – that are making a difference in the lives of more than 500 million people in 180 countries.
