Mission & Focus Areas
Panorama Global’s stated mission is to maximize social impact by partnering with visionary leaders to co-develop solutions to change systems. Its filing describes work on social challenges affecting people and the planet, including fiscal sponsorship for social-impact initiatives aligned with its charitable mission.
Its funds include the Ascend Fund, which supports nonpartisan nonprofits working to remove barriers to women running for office and winning; the T1D Community Fund, which supports community-based organizations serving people with type 1 diabetes in low- and middle-income countries; and the Panorama Fund, a giving vehicle for nonprofits aligned with designated priority areas. The Panorama Fund’s Maternal Health Equity Initiative supports organizations addressing maternal health and birth equity in underserved U.S. communities.
The grantees represent a range of organizational types. For example, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors describes its work as accelerating philanthropy toward a just world, while Mount Sinai Hospital describes a mission centered on patient care, teaching, and medical research. Dress for Success Houston says it promotes women’s economic independence through professional attire, support networks, and career development.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, Panorama Global reported 109 grants totaling $19,461,645. Grants ranged from $5,890 to $2,665,356, with a median of $50,000. The organization says it develops a strategy before investing and, where possible, prioritizes multiyear operating grants. Its general grant review includes checking an organization’s charitable status or activities, reviewing governance and financial documents, and evaluating proposals and budgets. Grantees sign agreements governing use of funds; recipients of more than $5,000 must submit reports.
The Ascend Fund typically makes five- and six-figure general operating grants. It solicits proposals annually and in response to changing needs; funded partners report twice yearly and participate in portfolio-wide measurement, learning, and evaluation. The T1D Community Fund is currently open and offers core support to direct-service organizations focused primarily on type 1 diabetes, or program-specific support for type 1 diabetes initiatives within broader organizations. Its proposals should show how grant funding would advance community-level impact.
The largest reported 2024 grants included $2,665,356 to Noisy Creek (Fund for Alternative Journalism), $1,827,703 to Run for Something Action Fund, $1,342,576 to Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, $1,092,218 to Next Street Financial, and $995,042 to King County Regional Homelessness Authority. Each was listed for “project fund.”
The Panorama Fund’s Maternal Health Equity Initiative announced five 2024 grantees, each receiving $20,000: Alaska Native Birthworkers Community, Birth Center Equity, Birth Detroit, Jamaa Birth Village, and Perinatal Support Washington.
