Collaborative funds are on the rise, today reaching into the tens of billions in funds under collective management. Collaborative funds are pools of funding assembled from multiple donors and/or institutional funders, often with the goals of addressing priorities that are shared by the group, that are outside normal grantmaking for individual funders, or where decision making needs to be shared with a particular community, again outside established grantmaking practices (i.e., trust-based philanthropy). Many of these funds utilize fiscal sponsorship as a management structure, and many larger sponsors also provide collaborative fund support, alongside fiscal and DAF sponsorship. Join us for a presentation on trends in collaborative funds and how fiscal sponsors can support and influence this fast-growing area of philanthropy.
