Luminate partners with other funders to resource and strengthen the movement for a more equitable adoption and use of digital technologies.
We bring experience, expertise, and a global network – and we want to learn and experiment alongside other values-aligned funder partners. Where digital tools are deployed, we want them to reflect our best values and protect our rights.
We coordinate closely with a growing community of funder peers, engaging in joint learning, mutual support, and strategising to maximise our collective impact. We create shared resources, design learning experiences, and bring funders together to collaborate, problem-solve, and innovate together.
Your funding brings you into a larger community of funder peers.
From gender equality to children’s rights, from elections to warfare, from education to healthcare, from welfare to criminal justice – digitisation is creating opportunity, danger, and upheaval across every sector. We work alongside partners who make sense of these shifts in real time across fields, contexts, and communities.
Evolve your funding to address these new technological challenges – without changing your focus.
Our grantee partners engage in policy advocacy, strategic litigation, investigative journalism, storytelling, research, and field building. We invest in the capacity of movements to withstand challenges, obstacles, and setbacks.
Your impact lasts beyond the funding cycle.
The accountability rules for digital tech power are constantly being written and re-written. We support both long-term investments in civil society and short-term experiments with unusual suspects, adapting to tech disruption.
Fund with confidence, backed by evidence.
We've developed a deep understanding of tech's global power levers and intimate knowledge of impact ecosystems in key geographies. With staff on the ground in key regions and capitals across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, we can advise on investments in line with your geographic priorities that respond to field needs and emerging opportunities.
Your funding builds on regional knowledge to reach where it is needed most.
