Ariadne is a European peer-to-peer network of more than 600 funders and philanthropists who support social change and human rights
We envision a future in which philanthropy is at the service of the movements, communities, and individuals it supports, bringing its resources to equitable partnerships.
In our network, we create spaces for joint reflection and learnings, help build trusted relationships among funders, and foster creative collaboration in the philanthropy sector to help build this future.
What we do
Ariadne enables funders to achieve more together than they can individually, by providing access to community-created tools and a supportive network of colleagues.

As a flexible network, Ariadne offers a mix of different tools to support funders to direct resources where they are most needed, improve their grantmaking practices, and connect with peers working on similar issues. It aims to do this as cost-effectively as possible.
