Impact is at the core of everything we do. Across our global network, we take our commitment to defining, understanding and measuring the impact of our work seriously. Each year we conduct an annual Global Member Survey in collaboration with the Social Entrepreneurship Centre / Vienna University of Economics and publish the results openly.

2. Impact cannot
happen in isolation.
It requires
collective action.

3. 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.
