what we do
As a partnership of individuals and family foundations we created globalislocal because we believe that individuals don't just matter; rather, individuals are essential to the advancement of a more prosperous and secure world.
globalislocal is designed to provide donors seamless access to solutions to extreme poverty in the developing world.
Together we are constructing a unique globalislocal Human Prosperity Portfoliosm as we invest in essentials for a productive life such as: access to economic opportunity, education, health, water, energy, gender equality, environmental stability, and civil society…
…all of the things each one of us needs to take care of ourselves and our families.
globalislocal recognizes, however, that many donors - regardless of size or sophistication - may perceive global issues as overwhelming, global funding as complex, and may not appreciate their ability to achieve measurable impact on issues about which they care. So...
how we do it
globalislocal makes strategic global philanthropy accessible by identifying, vetting, and investing philanthropic capital in organizations and initiatives creating greater life opportunity and increasing basic human security for women, children, and men among the 4 billion people who live on less than $4 a day.
We provide smart, results-oriented, strategic opportunities to our partners through our annual speaker series in Philadelphia. Each year several leading social innovators are invited to make presentations to the partnership. At the end of each year partners meet and decide which investments will be added to our portfolio. Our grants are targeted investments in social change and we require annual impact reports on all investments - which then inform the next round of investments.
Seamless access... Engaging partners... Transformational results.
