Connective Paths Foundation CPF

About Connective Paths Foundation CPF

The Connective Paths Foundation (CPF) https://www.connective-paths.org/ is a resource and grant facility established in 2021 to support community-led change driven by grassroots women organisations in the Global South.

How? - We collaborate with CSOs and donors in the global north to go beyond the rhetoric of decolonising aid and put concrete changes into action. 100% of proceeds fund community-led change in the global south. -We also use market-based and organisation development strategies to increase funding prospects of local women's organisations, who in turn support community members in developing socially-focused micro-enterprises that increase women's and household incomes and reduce violence in and outside the home. -We build capacities in local fundraising and resource mobilisation, highlighting many existing practices of community philanthropy that have gone unnoticed for decades.

Our approach: - Long term partnerships (up to 8 years) and whole-of-organisation capacity strengthening - Trust-based collaborations, centering local expertise and grassroots innovation - Co-creation of solutions to the most important challenges identified by grassroots women's organisations and communities

CPF is modelling these approaches to find alternative solutions and transform short-term, donor-driven and project-based funding.

We are launching publications documenting the first 3 years of modelling our Participatory Grantmaking approach.
