MISSION
Supporting innovative, regenerative and enduring solutions to global problems that will uplift communities and empower individuals
At Pennywise, we recognize that support comes in many forms and offer a variety of services for our grantees and project partners.
- Pennywise Model Grants - We make grants to small, grassroots organizations that implement innovative strategies that reduce costs and waste, break destructive cycles, demonstrate tangible impact, and are sustainable in the long term.
- Capacity Building Support- We engage in collective impact initiatives by identifying opportunities for collaboration and offering the technical assistance to make strategic partnerships function effectively.
- Urgent Response Fund- We reserve funds to respond at moments of geo-political crises. We move these resources quickly, addressing specific needs and bridging gaps until larger scale aid can be secured.
- VoteWise- Understanding that access to free and fair democratic processes underpins progress on nearly every issue, we support community based initiatives that are effectively promoting voting rights in marginalized communities.
