FORGING A JUST AND EQUITABLE WORLD, TOGETHER
FORGE is a collaborative of philanthropic donors working to advance a global economy that works for all. By pooling expertise and resources, we enable community and worker-led movements to catalyze change at the intersections of the world’s most pressing issues.
Worldwide, people are experiencing an economic race to the bottom with growing inequality, the erosion of democracy and the climate crisis. At the same time, there is unprecedented momentum to change the direction of the global economy so that it works for everyone and the planet.
FORGE breaks down silos to encourage the sharing of knowledge, insights and strategies, both within and beyond philanthropy. Our members focus on a breadth of issues – including natural resources, climate change, corporate accountability and human rights, enabling us to explore how these issues intersect. By strategically aligning and channeling funds, we're leveraging opportunities for more meaningful impact.

RESPONSE AND VISION FUND
Our Response and Vision Fund grantees include community-led and civil society organizations, workers’ rights groups and social movements. These groups are working to build power, to hold financial and corporate actors accountable and to change the rules so the global economy works for all.
