What We Do

We connect your giving with trusted grassroots leaders creating change around the world.

Local solutions
deserve global
support.

Across the world, grassroots organisations are creating meaningful change in their communities. Yet many have limited access to international funding. We connect funders with trusted local leaders, helping support reach the people and places where it can make a lasting difference.

That’s where Move92 comes in.

  1. We bridge the gap.

    Our team has spent years working in global philanthropy, building relationships with grassroots leaders and understanding the realities of their communities. We connect funders with trusted local organisations that have the knowledge and commitment to create lasting change, but often lack access to the funding they need.

  2. Direct to trusted local partners.

    Through our global networks, we connect funders directly with these trusted local partners—sometimes in the most remote parts of the world—where smaller grants can make a life-changing difference.

  3. Relationships, not transactions.

    But what truly sets Move92 apart is our focus on relationships. We don’t just move money; we build bridges between funders and the people driving change on the ground. When you give through Move92, you get to know the people behind the work—their stories, challenges, and successes. These aren’t transactional interactions; they’re meaningful connections that often grow into life-long friendships.

  4. Giving that becomes personal.

    At Move92, your giving becomes personal. You’ll see (and feel) exactly how your support is making a difference and experience the joy of being part of something real, human, and transformational.

Our services

Two ways we support
your giving.

Start with one well-managed grant, or build a long-term giving plan. Choose the service that fits where you are today.

Service 01 · Grant Management

Support a specific cause. We manage the grant.

You may already have a country, cause, or organisation in mind. We help you turn that intention into a well-managed grant—from finding the right grassroots partner to coordinating funding and sharing what your support makes possible.

Who we work with

Giving in practice.

The following are real examples from some of the different types of people we’ve worked with, and what they were trying to achieve.

  • Portfolio
  • Individual

One giving vision. A global portfolio.

A Bay Area philanthropist passionate about advancing girls’ and women’s leadership and improving maternal health. Through Move92, Hal supports over 20 organizations across 13 countries—most of which he’s visited personally.

  • Direct funding

A lifelong connection to Greece, made personal.

A New Zealand-based entrepreneur and philanthropist with a lifelong connection to Greece. For many years, she directed her giving through a major international NGO. Six years ago, she shifted her philanthropy to Move92 to fund local organizations directly—and couldn’t be happier with the deep, personal relationships she’s built with her grantees.

  • Business
  • Sri Lanka

A first connection that grew into ongoing support.

A Singapore-based investment firm that approached Move92 to expand its global giving portfolio. We introduced the team to one of our partners in Sri Lanka and helped establish their first connection. Today, the investment firm manages the relationship independently and has steadily grown its support over the years.

  • Guatemala

Turning an inheritance into support for women and girls.

An inheritor who wanted her giving to focus on women and girls in some of the world’s most remote regions. We connected her with long-standing partners along the Thai–Myanmar border and in Guatemala. She now directly supports four of these organizations and recently visited the organizations in Guatemala.

  • First-time funders

From hearing a story to funding legal support.

An American couple who first encountered Move92 during a virtual storytelling event in 2021. After following our work on social media and podcasts, they were inspired to begin direct funding in 2025. They now support one of our partners providing legal assistance to survivors of domestic violence.

  • Group
  • Collective giving

A shared effort supporting children in Palestine.

A group of women across Canada and the U.S. were moved to act in support of Palestine. They participated in a running race to raise funds—sparking broader participation and matching donations through a corporate program in the U.S. and a philanthropist in New Zealand. Move92 helped channel their collective giving directly to a local Palestinian organization providing education for children.

Consulting
and speaking

We also support foundations, businesses and other organisations seeking to develop their approach to giving.

Through consulting, presentations and facilitated conversations, we explore trust-based philanthropy, international giving, and how unrestricted and multi-year funding can support locally led change.
