Partners
Build the network with us
Action Network Worldwide is a working platform for NGOs, changemakers and networks. It finds funding, runs projects and turns field work into reports funders can trust. It is operated by Weltweit e.V., a registered association in Germany.
Six ways to partner
Each is a concrete offer with a one-page proposal behind it. Tell us which one fits and we will send it to you.
1. Funders: give your grantees the tools
Run your grant call on your own website or through our community of verified organisations, or cover platform access for the organisations you already fund. Either way, the funded projects run on the platform, and their reports come from what was actually logged.
You bring: a grant round, a portfolio of grantees, or both.
You get: pre-vetted applicants, the same report structure from every grantee with the evidence attached, and for grantee access a portfolio discount, one invoice and an onboarding session. More at https://actionnetwork.world/for/funders.
2. Companies: sponsor access
The organisations that need these tools most can pay the least. Sponsors close that gap.
You bring: credits, licences, cash, engineering time or reach.
You get: named credit on our site and in our newsletter, and a plain account of what your contribution did. Sponsors never get access to member data.
3. Networks and platforms: NGOradar inside your community
A live opportunity marketplace for your members, under your brand, in the place where they already gather.
You bring: the community and the place where it lives.
You get: open funding calls, events, courses and collaborations, kept current every day and tuned to your focus areas and regions, for one yearly cost share.
4. Affiliates: recommend and earn
Recommend our tools through your own link. Everyone who joins through it gets an extra month free, and you earn a share of what they pay in their first year.
You bring: a community, clients or readers who work in civil society.
You get: a personal link, ready-to-use material and monthly payouts, with no fee, no minimum and no exclusivity.
5. Strategic partner organisations
Join as a full member organisation at your normal plan fee, and stand beside us in public.
You bring: a verified organisation whose work fits ours.
You get: visibility on the platform, direct access to our team, and regular coverage in our newsletter and on our social channels.
6. Co-funders: the AI empowerment cohort
A guided, hands-on cohort that builds tech, tool and AI skills on each person's real work, followed by a full year on the platform. You fund the guide time and we match it in platform access.
You bring: co-funding for a cohort, and participants from your own network if you wish.
You get: a public cohort page you co-sign, a seat at the completion event and a report with the measured results. The programme is public at academy.actionnetwork.world.

What we look for
We work best with partners who share our standards on transparency, sustainability and member ownership. We choose carefully, because everyone in the network benefits from who is already in it.
Work that serves sustainable, equitable development
A track record we can verify, as an organisation, a technology or an audience
A fair exchange: what each side gives should match what it gets
