ABOUT THE IGS

This year’s IGS will focus on how the tools available to U.S. foundations for funding non-exempt organizations can be deployed to support a wide range of innovative partnerships for impact, anywhere in the world. Through intensive skill-building workshops and presentations by leading experts and practitioners, our programming will explore applied approaches to funding nonstandard grantees, supporting public and private sector programs as well as charities in unique and difficult situations.

Attendees will leave the IGS better equipped to implement the rules and regulations of cross-border grantmaking to support innovative and novel models of partnership funding, unlocking more giving and giving more people around the world access to U.S. philanthropic capital. Other takeaways include:

• Build new skills, or hone existing skills, in advanced cross-border grantmaking;
• Make connections with colleagues in the international philanthropy and cross-border grantmaking industry at our engaging evening events and networking breaks;
• Learn from our expert speakers and panelists that frames existing problems in new and innovative ways;
• Get inspired to act differently, powered by new tools for funding unique partners; and
• Celebrate the collective impact of our cross-border giving through the eyes of the grantees we support.
