Welcome to CoPower Global
We are a global Community of Practice committed to transforming international grantmaking and development.
What we do
CoPower Global brings together funders, implementers, and thought leaders to co-create more equitable, adaptive, and locally led approaches to global development. Through dialogue, collaboration, and advocacy, we challenge top-down models and center the expertise of communities in Africa, South Asia, and Latin America.
About us
Our Story
CoPower Global emerged from a clear need: traditional international grantmaking is often rigid, Western-centric, and disconnected from the realities of the communities it aims to serve. We launched in 2025 to bridge this gap, fostering a space where practitioners can share knowledge, shift power, and redesign aid together.
Our Values
-
Equity: Fair participation and shared decision-making.
-
Diversity & Inclusion: Prioritizing voices from historically marginalized regions.
-
Collaboration: Co-creating solutions, not prescribing fixes.
-
Adaptability: Encouraging flexible, context-driven approaches.
Our Mission
To advance equitable and effective global development through collaborative learning, co-leadership, and systemic change.

Facilitated discussions on equitable grantmaking, adaptive management, and inclusive programming.

What Makes Us Different
