How we fund
TAI offers a platform for candid, constructive exchange around grantmaking practices. Our members learn from each other and hold each other accountable to be more inclusive, equitable, innovative, and effective grantmakers.
We supports partners to harness transparency, participation and accountability for the public good, and these are also our values we want to live by.

Funder exits
Funders regularly adapt their strategies, which often prompt investment in new issue
areas, but also the tough decision to scale back or fully wind down funding for existing
portfolios. These funding “exits” are a painful reality, especially for impacted
grantees, but also other funders of that field. However, they can be managed in
responsible ways.
TAI members use our platform to regularly discuss how to handle exits, to encourage good
practice, and to manage the knock on effects for a field. We have been trying to document
learnings as in this
blog. Are you planning a funding exit? Interested in how other funder approaches? Donʼt
hesitate to get in touch.
