The IEFG holds regular learning and networking events to allow grantmakers to connect, share challenges, and learn from each other. In addition to the Steering Committee, our meetings and webinars are guided by members of the group. Our member meetings are generously hosted by one or more IEFG members, and the agendas are co-created through planning committees composed of members who are interested in the meeting’s theme. Calls for participation are through the members’ IEFG Update, a monthly newsletter. Members also approach the Secretariat directly with ideas on meetings, site visits, etc. as well as interest in leading thematic or regional discussions.
