Gathering for Greater Impact
GEM Foundations brings together leading philanthropic foundations and philanthropists to:
- reflect on opportunities to support innovations in international development
- discuss data trends on global generosity
- build a community between philanthropy and academia
By working together, we amplify our individual efforts and build a world where all individuals can thrive. Participation in GEM Foundations is by invite only.

GEM Foundations 2023 will be held in collaboration with Giving Tuesday and the Network of Engaged International Donors on May 11, 2023. Attendees include representatives from US-based and international philanthropic organizations and individual philanthropists. GEM Foundations attendees are invited to attend GEM23 in full.
