Making Philanthropy More Inclusive

At Global Donors Forum (GDF), we believe philanthropy is stronger when diverse voices are heard. Thanks to the generous support of Collective Continuum (CoCo), a venture philanthropy firm committed to elevating humanity, we’re offering 10 fully funded bursary tickets to enable underrepresented nonprofit leaders to join the conversation at GDF Istanbul 2025.

GDF is where charities, philanthropists, social impact experts and world leaders unite to shape the future of giving.

Why Diverse Voices
Matter at GDF

The future of philanthropy depends on bold ideas and inclusive solutions. Smaller organisations and grassroots initiatives often drive the most meaningful change, yet they struggle to be part of major funding conversations. By ensuring diverse participation, we can collectively unlock new strategies and solutions that benefit all.

If you or a nonprofit leader you know could benefit from attending, apply for a fully funded bursary ticket today.
