GEO Breakthrough Partnership

After 25 years of working to transform philanthropy to meet the evolving needs of nonprofits and communities, Grantmakers for Effective Organizations endeavors to be in deep relationship and push the sector through purposeful programming with varying intensities, commitments, modalities and learning agendas. We keep ourselves the fundamental question: What will it take for philanthropic institutions to change? Whether it be a fundamental shift in community-driven strategy or a revamp of operating values and norms, GEO has created programs to support grantmakers in the journey to question current practice, approach work with a learning mindset, engage in peer-to-peer learning, and ultimately manage change within complex organizations. The GEO Catalyst is another attempt at supporting grantmakers and creating long-term change in the sector.
