About Impact Funding

Welcome to Impact Funding, a curated resource for nonprofits, social enterprises, and ecosystem builders working to solve the world’s toughest problems.

We do the legwork so you can focus on the work that matters.

About Me

Hello! I’m Eliana Summer-Galai. I’m a strategic idealist at heart, drawn to patterns in systems, stories, and the hidden connections that shape how change happens.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy, imagination, and execution. Whether I’m decoding complex funding landscapes, designing regenerative financial models, or helping organizations craft futures they actually want to live in, I focus on turning complexity into clarity, and bold ideas into action.

I care deeply about building better systems, not just navigating broken ones. That means asking better questions, pushing beyond short-term urgency, and helping purpose-driven organizations move from reactive problem-solving to visionary, long-term change.

I’ve spent the past 15+ years working across global development, humanitarian response, social entrepreneurship, and impact finance, working with grassroots movements, UN agencies, startups, INGOs, and multilateral funds. I’ve helped shaped bold new strategies, raise millions in funding, and built platforms like Impact Funding and LEAPO Futures to make this work more accessible.

But beyond the strategy decks and spreadsheets, I care about meaningful conversations and thoughtful problem-solving. I believe the best ideas come from asking deeper questions and holding space for imagination, even when the world feels overwhelming.

If you're building something that matters, and you're ready to think deeper, act smarter, and challenge what’s possible, I’d love to hear from you!

Why Substack?

As our community grew, it became clear that LinkedIn wasn’t the best platform to manage and organize the wealth of opportunities we share. Substack allows for easier navigation, better organization, and a more seamless reader experience. Plus, it supports the sustainability of this work through paid subscriptions, helping us dedicate the time needed to curate high-quality content.

We want to hear from you!

Let us know if you are interested in particular sectors/ geographies and we’ll do our best to find opportunities right for you.
