MISSION
The Funders Network on Transforming the Global Economy (formerly on Trade and Globalization) is an alliance of grantmakers committed to building just and sustainable communities around the world.
FNTG provides a space for collaboration across issues and funding strategies among domestic and international grantmakers who recognize the global and systemic nature of the challenges confronting us.
FNTG is for domestic and international funders who understand their work within a global context and recognize impacts international policies and processes can have on grantmaking at all levels.

While remaining responsive to changing issues and opportunities, our efforts currently center around four overlapping areas (Global Economy, Global Ecology, Global Resources, & Global Organizing) and two special projects:
- Global Governance & Movement-Building Directories– Funders, CSOs and networks linked to global institutions and their impacts on key issues.
- F/M Process – This initiative “for Funders, with Movements” works to increase resources for building broad alliances for deeper systemic change.
