Who we are

The Trust, Accountability, and Inclusion Collaborative - Funders for Participatory Governance is a platform for donor learning and action. Our members seek to strengthen trust, accountability, and inclusion in societies around the globe (and in their own funding practices) as building blocks for a more just world where democracy, economy, and planet thrive.

We are grateful to count among our members some of the most influential and dedicated international grantmaking organizations working in the governance sector and at the intersection with economic, social, and climate justice.
