EDGE Funders Alliance

EDGE Funders Alliance addresses the systemic nature of the social, economic and ecological crises threatening the future of our planet. By supporting reflection and collaboration among members and fo...rging strategic partnerships in and outside philanthropy, EDGE works to increase resources for community well-being and transnational organizing in ways that promote justice and build lasting, meaningful change. Purpose EDGE organizes within philanthropy to develop: A unique and diverse community of donors, foundation officers and advisors across the international philanthropic landscape sharing knowledge, tools and approaches, with differing priorities and strategies but a shared commitment to global social change; A fresh conversation recognizing that today’s economic, social and ecological challenges require greater dialogue across issues, geographies and funding strategies to bridge perspectives and deepen cooperation around key issues and struggles of the day; A comprehensive and principled approach for greater impact that understands that combining support for local empowerment and grounded efforts to improve community well-being with support for transnational movement-building are complementary, reinforcing and more likely to bring about meaningful and lasting social transformation.
