Worldwide Initiatives for Grantmaker Support (WINGS)

Worldwide Initiatives for Grantmaker Support (WINGS)

 

WINGS is the world’s largest global network of networks. The organization plays many roles, including helping to create enabling philanthropic environments, advocating for the sector, convening actors, conducting and publishing research, applying research through training programs, regranting funds, and being a convener, advocate, and consultant for diverse sectors. These diverse sectors it supports include governments, international aid and development organizations, philanthropy support organizations, advocacy groups, and foundations — some of which give out large amounts of funding annually. Very notably, WINGS’ WE ACT, #Philanthropyforclimate got over 500 foundations to pledge to take urgent action on climate change — many of whom had not previously funded climate work.
