how can I join the collaborative?
Join the Collaborative
Ishita Dutta, member of the SWDC, (a brown-haired South Asian woman) leads a discussion of SWDC members around a table at AWID Forum 2024.
Institutional membership in the SWDC is open to institutions whose primary activity is grantmaking, and corporations that have a grantmaking program.
Individual membership is also open to staff members of grant-making institutions, individuals who work in philanthropy-serving organizations or as consultants or advisors to individual donors or grantmaking entities.
Institutional members will be listed on the SWDC website (anonymous membership can be sought on a case-by-case basis).
To join the collaborative, applicants must commit to uphold our mission and values and be approved by the Steering Committee. An annual contribution by institutional members to the SWDC’s operating expenses is encouraged but not required. A contribution of time, expertise, or connections is equally valued.
