What is a
pooled fund?

In a pooled fund, multiple donors make grants to a single entity to achieve a more significant and coordinated impact on an issue. Through this aggregation, donors learn to work together and draw common learnings around a specific impact model.

The resources provided are combined to create a larger fund, and the participating donors jointly recommend how these funds can be deployed to generate a compelling and lasting impact on different organizations.
