In this edition of our quarterly newsletter, we share highlights from the first few months of 2024, including headline-making news and celebrations with past awardees.

This month, Cecilia highlights the Yield Giving Open Call, Ahlan Simsim, the LEGO Foundation, members of our network in Asia, and the case for greater transparency in philanthropy.

To date, Lever for Change has unlocked over $2.2 billion in funding for high-impact solutions and strengthened dozens of top organizations.

This list showcases organizations working in Asia that provide solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems. It also offers opportunities for donors looking to expand their philanthropic goals.

Increased transparency in philanthropy can help build trust with donors, encourage collaboration among organizations, and facilitate better decision-making.

In this edition of our quarterly newsletter, we explore the transformative impact of our donors' funding on communities worldwide.

In 2021, Lever for Change introduced the Swift Grants fund, to provide small grants to Bold Solutions Network members for collaborative projects. Since its inception, Bold Solutions Network members have leveraged nearly $300K and their diverse expertise to push bold solutions around the world.

This has been a big year for Lever for Change! We started off having reached our initial goal of driving $1 billion in funding to outstanding organizations, ahead of schedule. This was an important milestone for us, as money is now flowing to people and communities with big ideas to tackle the issues they are facing, and because it proves that our reimagined model of large-scale grantmaking works. As we enter the final stretch of 2023, I find myself looking back at our growing impact and forward to a new year with lots of developments in the pipeline.
