Our Story
Our Experts
Our Partners
The Donor Tracker’s fundamental premise is to make work easier for development professionals and advocates around the world. Collaboration with other organizations and initiatives that do similar work or that engage with similar audiences is thus an important element of our core approach.
Interested in collaborating with the Donor Tracker?
The Donor Tracker welcomes two types of partners:
- Organizations and initiatives that do similar work, i.e. track, analyze, interpret, and share information about funding for global development
- Organizations and individuals that engage with similar audiences (civil society organizations, think tanks, media, academia) on topics related to global development overall, as well as on the Donor Tracker's 'Deep Dive' topics of global health, education, nutrition, agriculture, and global health R&D.
The Donor Tracker is not a funding or implementing organization, therefore we do not form partnerships or offer direct support of any kind to implementers.
If you would like to discuss possibilities for collaborating with us, please email [email protected].
