Investments

Pooled fund awards were made via our multi-donor funding vehicle.

In the case of affiliate funded awards, we played some supportive role (e.g., in scoping, review, due diligence, or technical assistance), but the award did not flow through our books: an affiliate funder made it directly.

Use this page to see investments we have recommended. To learn how to apply for funding, read this page.
