Our Network
World Connect's global network has developed over two decades of trust-based community development investment. Since 2018, we have been building power centers--locally-led development hubs staffed by regional experts who manage grantmaking operations and exemplify local ownership in development.
Our Network
Overview
World Connect partners with a global network of 5,000 community organizations and leaders across 42 countries. Our four power centers allow us to support sustained growth and leverage local resources, building a connected global community.
