June 1, 2026 (WASHINGTON, DC) — GlobalGiving and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver announced a new partnership to launch the Ghana Community Impact Fund, an initiative supporting local nonprofit organizations working across Ghana to expand opportunity and strengthen communities.
Inspired by the creativity and cultural expression celebrated through the Ghanaian art gallery Deadly Prey, the partnership aims to spotlight the power of community-led organizations advancing locally rooted solutions in education, clean water access, women's empowerment, health, economic opportunity, and community development.
Through the Ghana Community Impact Fund, donors are invited to provide flexible funding to vetted nonprofit organizations across Ghana — supporting work designed and led by local changemakers deeply connected to the communities they serve.
The Ghana Community Impact Fund was created to connect global donors with trusted local organizations through GlobalGiving's nonprofit vetting, grantmaking, and community-led philanthropy expertise.
Funding from the campaign will support projects and initiatives focused on:
For nearly 25 years, GlobalGiving has worked alongside local nonprofit organizations around the world, helping them access funding, tools, training, and long-term support to strengthen their work and deepen their impact. Since 2002, GlobalGiving's global community has raised more than $1 billion to support locally led organizations in 175+ countries.
The Ghana Community Impact Fund reflects GlobalGiving's broader belief that sustainable change begins within communities themselves — and that local leaders should have the resources and flexibility to shape solutions designed for their own contexts.
