At Maverick Collective by PSI we strive for Triple Impact: impact on the lives of women and girls, our members, and philanthropy. This approach is how we contribute to the long-term shifts necessary for building a more gender-equitable world. In 2022, we achieved this vision through our dedicated members and the incredible PSI projects they fund.

It’s time for local partners to lead

When we shift power and co-create, co-implement, and co-evaluate programming alongside local partners, we can advance people-powered health solutions and get us all closer to Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

Locally-led models for feminist funding can get us there. Maverick Collective by PSI and Fòs Feminista are collaborating on a new feminist fund – Maverick Portfolio.
