We believe that the definition and practice of philanthropy needs a major reboot so we can make real progress toward addressing chronic challenges.

Philanthropy—mobilizing private capital for the public good—is something any individual, organization or private enterprise can and should do. We believe that the convergence of a new generation of thinkers and activists, supported by cutting-edge technology, creates enormous opportunities to put the power of capital – which includes time, talent and dollars – toward accelerating social impact.

We also believe that our resources must be more efficient and more impactful. We need to be more intentional about catalyzing new and creative solutions, building unlikely alliances, and creating new financial instruments for social impact.
