Impact cannot happen in isolation. It requires collective action.
We believe a better world evolves through the combined accomplishments of compassionate, creative and committed individuals focused on a common purpose. From Accra to São Paulo, Phnom Penh to Zurich— we provide access to connections, resources, knowledge, talent, spaces and investments to turn ideas into action and move from intention to impact. What began as a single location in 2005 has evolved into a collaborative global community that now inspires, connects and enables people across the world to sustainably impact society.
