These grant-making processes are designed to foster genuine, trust-based partnerships, providing organisations with the flexibility and long-term support needed to strengthen their capabilities and maximize their impact. By focusing on deep collaboration rather than short-term interventions, the Hempel Foundation ensures that its partners can develop sustainable strategies, scale their programmes effectively, and drive meaningful change in education systems.
To accelerate the impact of its partners, the Hempel Foundation’s approach is tailored to help organisations expand their networks and build strong relationships with key stakeholders, including governments, new funders, and knowledge institutions. Establishing these connections is crucial for long-term sustainability, enabling partners to integrate their solutions into public education systems and attract additional support for scaling. Furthermore, the Foundation actively supports partners in measuring, documenting, and sharing evidence of programme effectiveness. By helping organisations communicate their impact, refine their approaches, and share best practices, the Foundation plays a vital role in amplifying their reach and ensuring that successful education models can benefit more children in need.
A key partner in this effort is Global Schools Forum, a dynamic community, innovation accelerator, and partnership builder that supports non-state organisations striving to improve education at scale for underserved children in low- and middle-income countries. Global Schools Forum plays a critical role in supporting education organisations as they pilot and refine promising programmes with the potential for large-scale replication.
Through this collaboration, the Hempel Foundation and Global Schools Forum are working together to ensure that innovative, effective education solutions reach more children, transforming learning opportunities for those who need them most.
