THE PROMISE
BY SOURCING INNOVATION THAT TRANSCENDS INDUSTRY, SECTOR, ORIGIN, AND CURRENCY TO CHALLENGE THE MOST INTRACTABLE NARRATIVES, INCLUDING INEQUALITY, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, THE PIONEER GAP, AND UPWARD MOBILITY, OUR COMMITMENT TO TRANSFORMING THESE ISSUES LIVES AND GIVES IN OUR EVERY MOVEMENT.
THE CRITERIA
SUSTAINABLE, SCALABLE, INCLUSIVE, MISSION DRIVEN ECOSYSTEMS WITH BENEFICIARIES AT EVERY JUNCTURE. SOLUTIONS THAT BREAKDOWN SOCIAL STIGMAS AND EMPOWER INDIVIDUAL’S SENSE OF DIGNITY AND SELF-EFFICACY. WE MUST ADDRESS THE ISSUES INHERENT IN HOW THOSE IN NEED RECEIVE AND ASK FOR HELP. THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA ACT AS GUIDELINES, STANDARDS, AND DEMANDS.
Affect Systems not symptoms that empower SELF-DETERMINEd communities and increased Generativity
Let’s assume the ultimate goal of philanthropy is creating more philanthropy. Let’s also assume that currently we don’t have the solutions, well, let’s create more problem solvers. If we want giving to increase, instead of squeezing individuals for more finite funds, why don’t we activate more people that want to activate more people to give. The pursuit of solutions that do just that is the metric for philanthropy.
EXPONENTIAL NOT INCREMENTAL SOLUTIONS THAT PERPETUATE INDIVIDUAL AGENCY
If philanthropy is to succeed on the grandest and most important scale, it must aim not to put itself out of business by eliminating need, but to enhance awareness of the importance of sharing by highlighting the capacity to give. Philanthropic activity should aim to replicate itself, to transform receivers into givers, and to promote sharing throughout the community.
PLATFORMS AT THE NEXUS OF ESTABLISHED CONSUMER BEHAVIOR AND ECOSYSTEMS OF COMMUNITY NEED
By supporting consumable solutions that serve the community, the consumer, and the cause, we believe there’s a more inclusive way to contribute to disenfranchised communities to raise funds and awareness for causes that otherwise depend on marketing and money beyond the innovator’s reach - tool circular economies with diversity to better maximize overall excellence.
