An Opportunity for Collective Impact
Pooled philanthropic funds are a proven, effective vehicle for mobilizing financial resources toward a specific cause.
They facilitate collaboration and co-funding among stakeholders, while offering contributing donors a simple, tax-deductible means to further the impact of their philanthropic dollars.
Since 2010, Geneva Global has worked with clients to set up, launch, and manage pooled philanthropic funds, which have mobilized more than $750 million for global health and development causes.
