Global Greengrants Fund

Global Greengrants Fund

"We bridge the gap between those who can offer financial support and grassroots groups in developing countries that can make effective use of that support. We help donors overcome the barriers to grassroots grantmaking by identifying worthy organizations and moving funds at minimal cost.

"We are based in Boulder, Colorado, with staff and volunteers around the world. Since 1993, we have made more than 2,000 grants in 113 countries."

History
"December 2001 marked the end of an era for Global Green grants Fund. We recently took the first steps toward independence from Tides Foundation, which has been our fiscal sponsor since our founding."
