Wallace Global Fund
Summary
Wallace Global Fund supports social movements and aligned organizations that are driving systemic solutions in four areas: democracy, environment, corporate accountability, and women's rights. These programs are fundamentally aligned and interconnected. To advance our priorities, we use all of the foundation's assets: grants, investments, networks, and our own advocacy voice. We align our endowment with our program priorities and leverage our social capital to amplify the demands of our movement partners.
Wallace Global Fund's grantmaking and investments reinforce each other. We act as a stakeholder, not just a shareholder. We have transformed our investment strategy to reflect our values, achieve alignment with environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, drive progressive social change, encourage our philanthropic peers to invest in alignment with their missions, and support the priorities of the social movements and organizations we fund.
We partner to build, support, and scale movements and collaborative campaigns to drive systemic change. Wallace Global Fund's strategic priorities: Strengthening Democracy and Fighting Disinformation, Advancing Climate and Energy Justice to Reverse the Course of Global Climate Change, Advancing Women's Rights and Gender Justice, Holding Corporations Accountable, Global Spotlight on Southern Africa, and Global Spotlight on Energy Access and Justice.
