Program Offerings​
Learning Designed for and by Members
Learn and engage to transform your giving.
​
The NEID Global experience is tailored to allow each member to engage in the community in a manner that meets their specific needs and interests. Given the wide range of member interests and geographic focus areas, we have learning opportunities for all, regardless of where you are in your philanthropic journey, how you practice international philanthropy, or your philanthropic focus. Programs are based off of member interests, and members actively engage in crafting many of our all types of NEID events. Our community based approach also invites members to help support our hubs, curate Learning Circles, and lead our Giving Circles. Our programs are designed to feature a wide range of approaches and give voice to leaders shaping issues and solutions on the ground. As a result, 52% of our members are now funding organizations or projects that they learned of through NEID Global’s programming and community.

One session or series often is not enough. This 7 month immersive, virtual experience allows members to deep dive into themes, pool funds, and select 3-8 grantee partners. The first four months are centered around deep discussion and learning while the final three months deep dive into the grantmaking process. Learn more.

Discussions
Most of us want our lives to count for something and many are eager to join the fight against climate catastrophe, poverty, injustice or corruption, but how? Join us as we meet and discuss stories from inspiring change-makers in the field like Edgar Villanueva, Jacqueline Novogratz, Raj Shah, and Samantha Power.
General Programs
Once a week we offer a general education program format on topics that our members want to dive deeper into, urgent action events, themes that are often overlooked and more. Sessions are built in a virtual, 1 hour format and local voices and experts join us to shed light on what is really happening in the world.
Site Visits &
Socials
Who says you can't have fun while you learn? Our socials and site visits bring us out of the zoom screen to engage with our passionate & dedicated members on a personal level. These foster partnerships, allows for deep connection, and inspire us to continue working to build a world where everyone can thrive.
Affinity
Groups
Convene with NEID Global members who share your passion for certain themes and geographies. We are hosting four groups in 2024: Haiti, Global Health, Africa, and Education. Each Affinity Group meets 3-4 times a year. Use these groups to share resources, brainstorm opportunities, stay informed, and to create funds!
Global Conferences
NEID Global annually hosts several larger events. Our Linkages Series is a virtual conference that features major donors and grantees on a particular issue, offering relevant and robust information and resources. Our 2024 LINKAGES program focused on climate funding. In addition, NEID Global biannually co-hosts the Innovations in International Philanthropy Symposium in collaboration with the Philanthropic Initiative. This is the largest gathering of our members, and offers thought leadership, skill building, and networking opportunities to international donors.

Our Learning Circles are a new and exciting program format that is entirely member-led and member-organized. Sessions are hosted virtually once a month, bringing members and prospects along a learning and discussion-based experience. Current topics include reproductive health and refugee assistance.
