About Pangea
Pangea is an international giving circle founded in 2003 to raise awareness of global issues, study ways to address them, and help the people in economically disadvantaged countries around the world who are affected by them. We do this by:
- – Making grants that help communities accomplish their goals
- – Educating ourselves and others on the issues and on effective grantmaking practices
- – Building relationships with grantees to better understand their strengths, needs and challenges
- – Inspiring increased international philanthropy
- – Seeking opportunities to provide technical support
- – Joining with others to advocate for policies that promote equitable development
In the process, our own lives are enriched by meaningful relationships, service and learning.
Underlying our work are four core values, intended to balance our minds and our hearts to promote sustainability for our organization, for our partners, and for the planet.
- Respect. We demonstrate our compassion through listening and walking with our partners toward equality and social justice.
- Community. Our Pangea community fosters relationships among our members and with our global partners.
- Learning. As a learning organization, we are open to new ideas, dedicated to thoughtful exploration of global issues, and appreciation and understanding of cultural diversity.
- Global Outcomes. We want to be a catalyst for peace, and for social and economic justice. We try to address root causes of poverty and inequality.
