What is Co-Impact?
Co-Impact is a global model for collaborative philanthropy and social change at scale. The Rockefeller Foundation is a core partner in this effort, along with Richard Chandler, The ELMA Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates, Rohini and Nandan Nilekani, MacKenzie Scott, and Jeff Skoll. Together with a growing group of funding partners – 30+ partners representing more than a dozen countries to date – we are committed to delivering large-scale, sustainable change to underserved populations across the Global South in the critical areas of health, education, and economic opportunity.
We currently support initiatives working across more than 20 countries, led by organizations deeply rooted in the contexts and systems they seek to transform (see map).
