Disrupting poverty
through market-driven collective action
PURPOSE
Designed to Thrive
We are all designed to thrive. Yet poverty is holding back hundreds of millions across the globe. Poverty is a complex problem that requires collaborative, multidisciplined, and replicable solutions. We work to build those solutions.
Who We Are
We are a collective impact platform that mobilizes the best of business, local leadership, non-profit, and government to build effective solutions to poverty. We are part enablers. Part doers. Part laboratory of new ideas.
OUR FORMULA
Promote human flourishing
By first engaging local community members and finding intersecting alignment with the interests of marketplace actors, the unique talents of various non-profits, and then governments (in that order), we create a sustainable success sequence that over time turns into movements that advance flourishing communities across the globe.
1. MARKET DRIVEN
2. LOCALLY LED

We’ve got some news to shout from the rooftops: This week, the first of six internet extender antennas was installed in San Pablo de León Cortés, Costa Rica, as part of an effort to provide internet access to elementary-age students who lack it. Though Escuela Manuel Castro Blanco has been holding virtual classes since April, 200 of the school’s 450 students do not have stable access to internet. The school’s director organized the internet extension project with the aim of mitigating the unequal access to education exacerbated by COVID-19.
We’re excited to support Escuela Manuel Castro’s initiative through our micro-grant program, part of our Community Resilience Initiative. Check out the link in our bio to find out how you can help support locally-driven projects like this one!
