Organization: The Global Fund for Community Foundations was established 2006.

Organization’s biography: GFCF is a grassroots grantmaker working to promote and support institutions of community philanthropy around the world. It works with individual community foundations and other local grantmakers and their networks with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. Through small grants, technical support and gathering groups together, the GFCF helps these local institutions to strengthen and grow so they can fulfill their potential as vehicles for development that are community driven.

Mott grants through 2009: Five grants totaling $655,000 since 2006.

What GFCF is during the World Cup: Nothing specifically related to the games.

My most meaningful place in South Africa: There is a small cave in the Drakensburg Mountains that overlooks Lesotho. I spent last New Year’s Eve there with my family, watching rainbows and storm clouds battling it out along the length of the valley before the full moon rose, casting shadows against the walls of the cave.
