The idea for The Global Flourishing Catalyst Coalition (The GFCC) emerged from Nate Harding's experiences supporting research on field-building for equitable systems change with The Bridgespan Group, managing the Transforming Philanthropy Initiative with Social Impact Exchange, and discovering The Global Flourishing Study's inquiry of flourishing worldwide and the proposal to establish Global Flourishing Goals. The GFCC is undergoing the process of acquiring legal status as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the United States.
Nate Harding serves as Founder & CEO of The Global Flourishing Catalyst Coalition. Nate is a proud member of Northern California Grantmakers' Rising Leaders 2023 Cohort, The Common Purpose Global Leaders Programme, altMBA52, and the Institute for Nonprofit Practice's Core Certificate in Social Impact Management & Leadership Class of 2024.
We partner with people and organizations advancing global flourishing goals, particularly field catalyst organizations, philanthropy, and researchers of global flourishing. Please contact nate@global-flourishing.org to discuss opportunities to collaborate.
In alignment with Targeted Universalism & The Curb-Cut Effect, The GFCC prioritizes support for leaders facing vulnerable circumstances including people from and/or serving African, Latine, and Indigenous communities, people with disabilities, and womxn, particularly in the Global South.
Our flourishing is interdependent with the flourishing of the people with whom we collaborate. We seek to flourish as we support others to flourish.
The GFCC plays 4 "field catalyst" roles known to advance a field:
Using this field diagnostic tool, The GFCC developed an initial draft assessment of the global flourishing field to inform conversations with partners. Please email nate@global-flourishing.org if you would like to receive and discuss the draft assessment of the field.
Given field catalysts are significantly underfunded, The GFCC is developing a fundraising campaign to establish a financial endowment that will fund both The GFCC's operations as well as philanthropic grants to field catalysts and other promising organizations and initiatives advancing field-level strategies in their fields to further global flourishing.
