LeverforChange

Open calls are how we start. Our funding ecosystem is how we scale. 📈

As of April 2026, Lever for Change has mobilized $2.6 billion in total funding, and 40.6% of that ($1.1 billion) came outside of our open calls entirely.

That's the secondary market at work: funding and partnerships that emerge because of an open call, but extend far beyond it. Top-ranking organizations from our open calls gain validation and funder access. Awardees receive long-term support. And through our global network, vetted organizations stay visible to donors long after an open call closes.
