Impact
The Resilience Fund’s flexible funding model and real-time learning provides organizations with institutional support to expand programs, drive social change, and foster community and climate resilience.
Since 2021, the Fund has invested $4.27 million to 66 direct and indirect grantee-partners primarily in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, and Vietnam to support women's health, safety, and economic and climate resilience.
The Fund’s grantee-partners connect to corporate value chains at several levels. Some work directly with industrial and agricultural workers and migrants – and their children; others with a range of formal and informal workers and community members.
The Fund’s impact is across three levels:
1. Organizational Resilience
2. Learning
3. Philanthropy
The Fund increases partner capacity to respond to critical needs and unexpected shocks by strengthening their organizations – their operations, programs, fundraising, and leadership. The impact is evident in deeper, more innovative engagement in supply chain communities.
The Fund has built a unique learning community and connections among corporate investors, grantee-partners, women’s funds and Advisory Board members for real-time exchange and collaboration. The impact is evident in improved peer-to-peer learning, new partnerships, and new funding opportunities.
The Fund has been active in sharing its approaches on flexible, pooled funding, and corporate engagement to influence companies and private donors. The impact is in building the case for and sharing the Fund’s model of resilience.
