Seven Years of Grantmaking for Sustainable Development

In 2015, the United Nations set 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to accomplish by 2030. These goals address various challenges faced by the world, including poverty, inequality, climate change, and justice.

Our second volume of the SDG Giving Landscape Report highlights the journey of CAF America’s grantmaking efforts supporting the SDGs since 2016. With seven years of dynamic reporting, the report showcases the monumental impact of over $851 million in charitable grants.

This isn’t just data; it’s a narrative of how our donors are actively tackling the challenges of sustainable development. The report delivers key insights, guiding donors to strategically channel their funding towards the most impactful areas and propelling the UN closer to its 2030 goals. Dive into a report that doesn’t just inform, but inspires action!
