New Endowment for Grant Pool Established

Pangea’s board of directors recently approved the creation of the Leslie Grace Grant Pool Endowment Fund. Seed funding for the endowment was made possible by a generous gift from the estate of Leslie Grace, as well as from four current Pangea members who expressed interest in contributing to the establishment of the fund. The fund’s initial principal, totaling approximately $70,000, will be invested, and a portion of this new endowment’s income and growth will be used to support Pangea’s grant pool each year.

Leslie Grace was a long-time member, and active in Pangea until her passing on May 1, 2022. The creation of the Leslie Grace Grant Pool Endowment Fund will complement our existing Education and Capacity Building Fund, a separate endowment that was established in 2019 to support Pangea’s member learning and engagement activities.

Planned giving and other contributions to the new endowment fund are welcome. If you would like more information, we would be happy to follow up with you. Please contact Mary Williamson, Treasurer, or Janet Pearson, Board President.

Why Pangea Now?

COVID-19 has shown us how interconnected and interdependent we are in this world. Borders have little significance in the face of global pandemic and climate change.

As global citizens, it’s our responsibility to educate ourselves and act on pressing issues in our country and around the world, from poverty to food security to climate change to the many of root causes of disparities in education, health and economic opportunity.

We invest internationally in social change and dynamic leadership in grassroots organizations. We stand in solidarity with ethnic minorities and indigenous communities in the face of marginalization in their own countries.


Pangea isn’t just a typical donor. It’s a partner who is willing to listen and to allow the community needs to guide the way and find solutions to its own problems.
