Strengthening the Foundations Funding Decisions Depend On
Global Grant Catalyst is a nonprofit consulting and philanthropic advisory firm working at the intersection of organisational systems and funding performance. We strengthen strategy, governance, financial stewardship, and fundraising so institutions secure sustainable, multi-year funding.
We do not operate as a transactional grant-writing service. We serve as institutional strengthening partners focused on building the internal architecture required for sustainable funding and disciplined stewardship.
Across the social impact ecosystem, organisations frequently deliver strong programmes while facing unstable funding and repeated due diligence challenges. The issue is rarely mission. It is institutional readiness.
Funding decisions assess governance oversight, financial discipline, evidence credibility, leadership alignment, and operational coherence. We exist to close the gap between programmatic impact and institutional strength.
Our advisory is shaped by substantial capital mobilisation and stewardship experience. Collectively, our team has helped mobilise and manage over US$100 million in philanthropic and public funding across multiple jurisdictions.
We have worked with institutional foundations, public sector agencies, private philanthropists, high-net-worth individuals, multilateral bodies, and corporate philanthropy platforms.
Our work spans Africa, North America, the Middle East, and South Asia. We operate across regulatory environments that vary significantly in governance standards, reporting requirements, and compliance expectations.
This cross-context experience enables us to advise with contextual sensitivity while maintaining institutional discipline.
To strengthen mission-driven organisations with the systems, governance, and fundraising capacity required for sustainable funding and long-term impact.
A social impact sector defined by institutional maturity, credible evidence, disciplined stewardship, and stable funding relationships.
Our work is grounded in clarity, integrity, practicality, evidence, and partnership. We believe strong institutions are built through disciplined systems, transparent governance, and sustained collaboration.
Clear strategy, roles, and priorities are essential for effective organisations and credible funding decisions.
Strong governance, ethical stewardship, and accountability as the foundation of lasting trust.
Systems and processes that organisations can realistically implement, sustain, and grow with.
Credible data, learning, and measurement to inform decisions and demonstrate impact.
Working alongside leadership teams as long-term thought partners, building capability rather than dependency.
Global Grant Catalyst partners with organisations and funders seeking disciplined institutional strengthening rather than isolated deliverables. Our advisory is grounded in experience mobilising and stewarding over US$100 million in philanthropic and public capital across multiple jurisdictions.
Engagements are tailored to organisational maturity and urgency, with clear scope, agreed priorities, and measurable outcomes — leaving institutions stronger and better positioned for sustained funding relationships.
