Launching an ambitious donor collaborative to end child marriage

Opportunity

A group of leading philanthropic institutions wanted to fill a critical funding gap to community-based organizations to help end child marriage.
The partners wanted to leverage their collective investments and create a way for other donors to join their efforts through a pooled philanthropic fund.

Approach

Established the Girls First Fund as a philanthropic fund within Capital for Good USA, a U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity, instead of creating a new nonprofit entity.
Facilitated strategy workshops to drive key conversations and gain consensus among the eight founding partners, leading to the development of the fund’s goals, objectives, vision, mission, and values.
Spearheaded the fund’s messaging and branding and developed print and digital materials for its official launch.
Ensured a smooth fund startup by supporting the hiring of its director and program advisors as well as managing the collaborative’s financials.
Collaborated with the board committee to develop the fund’s theory of change and learning framework.

Results

Created and supported a smoothly running fund that committed $11.4 million dollars to 176 active grantee partners, 85% of which are women- and girl-led organizations.
Enabled the fund to grow and develop by handing off day-to-day staffing and program management to the Girls First Fund management team, pivoting the relationship to one of a fiscally sponsored project of Capital for Good in January of 2022.
Prioritized capacity building and eventual autonomy as strategic objectives from the outset.
