Impact Reports

2023 G4GC Impact Report

In 2023, we expanded our work through youth engagement. We built out a Future Economy Lab and filmed our Pass The Mic Project with young people in our community. Additionally, we continued to elevate youth as decision-makers by creating a Holding A Sister Cohort with trans young people of Color and a New Songs Rising Fellowship for Indigenous girls and youth to help further our participatory grantmaking process.

Start from the Ground Up

“Start from the Ground Up: Increasing Support for Girls of Color” is a G4GC research project consisting of a report and a toolkit that opens a window into opportunities for philanthropy to be more equitable and accountable to girls of Color, and shines a light on how critical the reality of underfunding is for organizations led by and for girls of Color.

We hope “Start from the Ground Up” will facilitate important conversations within philanthropy, bolster the work of leaders in the G4GC ecosystem, and catalyze an increase in resources to organizations and leaders focused on girls of Color.

This project was created in part through town hall discussions with youth across the U.S. in 2018. Check out these listening sessions on our YouTube channel.
