Funders & grants

Partner with local ambition. Build opportunity with accountability.

Goblis Foundation welcomes mission-aligned funders, grantmakers, trusts, institutions, enterprises and individual supporters. We focus on responsible programme alignment, realistic implementation, transparent financial arrangements and evidence that can be verified—not where a potential partner is based.

Institutional funding readiness

Research-led funding relationships, backed by evidence.

Our protected Grants Intelligence Centre researches international funders and responsible giving routes, tracks published opportunities and deadlines, and supports independently reviewed applications. Opportunity discovery, a source listing or an AI-assisted fit suggestion does not mean that a grant is open, awarded or available to every applicant.

The Foundation's donor-funded small grants to eligible participants and communities are a separate governed process. Learn how conditional small-grant support works; there is no implied open award round.

Purpose before geography

Funding and collaboration pathways

Choose the contribution model that fits the proposed work. Each conversation begins with fit, responsibilities and appropriate due diligence.

Programme grants

Consider a defined Jikimu or Mashinani outcome, eligibility conditions, implementation responsibilities and realistic reporting.

Foundation capability

Explore governance, coordination, learning systems, responsible research and institutional readiness.

Restricted-purpose support

Discuss a documented objective, agreed restrictions, authorisation and independently reconciled financial handling.

Collaborative partnerships

Bring complementary expertise, delivery capacity or institutional connections under clear roles and oversight.

Research and evidence

Strengthen appropriate monitoring, assessment and learning without asserting results that have not been verified.

Long-term relationships

Build a phased collaboration with agreed milestones, safeguards and proportionate reporting over time.

For serious funding conversations

What a funder can expect us to clarify

Purpose and fit

How a proposal relates to Jikimu, Mashinani or a defined institutional capability.

Roles and safeguards

Which institution has authority, what due diligence applies and how risks are managed.

Financial route

Appropriate agreements, verified banking instructions and independent reconciliation.

Learning and evidence

What will be monitored, which records may be shared and what remains unverified.

A clear process for any funding relationship

We welcome appropriate funding conversations wherever a funder operates. Legal eligibility, transfer arrangements, tax treatment, grant conditions and reporting obligations are assessed for the specific institution and agreement. No particular registration, tax advantage, funding award or local intermediary is implied.

Understand the programme

Compare Jikimu social entrepreneurship support and Mashinani rural development, each with its own participant journey and implementation roles.

Explore the programmes

Select an evidenced purpose

Review six distinct campaigns, proposed activities, the role of responsible institutions and the evidence needed before results can be reported.

Explore the campaigns

From enquiry to accountable support

Choose a campaign, programme or institutional capability relevant to the proposed grant or contribution.
Discuss the call or funding criteria, eligibility, scope, due diligence, safeguarding, intended use and realistic reporting requirements.
For direct support, create a support reference and obtain independently verified bank instructions. Confirm any currency conversion and intermediary charges with your bank.
Finance reconciles any actual receipt before acknowledgement. Reporting follows the agreed purpose and evidence available, not assumed results.

Read our donor assurance, transparency, and support policy before contributing.

Begin with a purpose, not a commitment.

Share a relevant grant opportunity, a programme idea or a proposed partnership scope. We can discuss fit and available institutional documentation without assuming eligibility or announcing a funding agreement.
