Site Visits

Site visits are an important element of our partnership with grantees. They deepen our knowledge by providing opportunities to learn more about our partners and meet local community members. We gain insight into the political, social, economic, and environmental challenges these communities face. Spending time with grantees builds personal connections and understanding that strengthens our long-distance communication. While on site visits, members assess the leadership and staffing, review financial information, and confirm that grantees are following the grant guidelines and agreements. We often visit potential partners, as well. After the site visits, team members share their experiences and learning with other Pangea members through educational events, blogs, and at regional grant committee meetings.

This short video from our 2017 trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, highlights the impact of site visits for members and grant partners alike.
