Join Us​

New organizations are elected to Belmont Forum membership each year at the Forum’s plenary meeting. Members and partners collaborate to develop and deliver multilateral funding opportunities. There are several ways to join the Belmont Forum:

Members are funding organizations that contribute to the governance and strategic direction of the Belmont Forum. They can propose new Collaborative Research Action (CRA) themes, allocate resources, and participate fully in decision-making processes.

Partners are non-funding organizations that collaborate with the Belmont Forum to help shape its agenda on funding strategies, capacity building, and open data, although they do not hold voting rights

Organizations can also engage with the Belmont Forum through various collaboration opportunities, such as the Advancing Leadership Program (ALP), capacity development initiatives, and other strategic partnerships.
