Rooted in Place
Reflections from the Launch of Community Foundations Cohort 3
The launch of Community Foundations Cohort Three marked another important step in strengthening community philanthropy in Uganda. Bringing together 11 organizations from diverse communities, the initiative reflects a growing commitment to building institutions that are rooted in local realities, shaped by community trust, and able to sustain change from within. At a time when external funding systems are becoming more uncertain, community foundations continue to show why local leadership, generosity, and collective responsibility matter so deeply for the future of development.
