Donor Collaboratives

Mobilizing like-minded interests for greater impact

Donor collaboratives and pooled funds are proven paths to mobilizing greater philanthropic resources. They offer their members a remarkable opportunity to give, learn, and partner with like-minded donors on addressing some of the world’s biggest challenges—and maximizing impact, together. Since 2010, our donor collaborative clients have mobilized more than $750 million for myriad philanthropic causes.

Building Pathways to Giving

We work with a diverse set of clients to set up, launch, and manage donor collaboratives. From kickoff to launch, maintenance to regular reporting, we can be light touch or hands-on, as needed. Across the following areas of expertise, you can count on us to: 

  • Bring donors together to develop a shared vision.
  • Design an approach—or a theory of change—that leads to action.
  • Set up and launch a giving vehicle.
  • Craft a compelling case for support to galvanize giving.
  • Create a governance system to clarify roles and define decision-making.
  • Build and implement programmatic plans and grantmaking strategies.
  • Develop and execute plans for donor cultivation and stewardship.
  • Draft regular donor impact reports that communicate your collaborative’s performance.
  • Provide day-to-day fund management, including financial reporting.
  • Provide fiscal sponsorship and operational support for new and existing funds as they transition towards independence.
