About Wilde Ganzen

Wilde Ganzen backs small, locally led initiatives in low- and middle-income countries and is especially focused on helping community organizations raise and strengthen their own resources. Its giving combines match funding with training, networking, and capacity strengthening, so grantees can build sustainable programs and local ownership rather than dependence on outside aid. The funder’s thematic work spans poverty reduction, nature conservation, youth and women’s livelihoods, disability inclusion, and civic initiatives, with a strong preference for grassroots partners and locally driven solutions.
