Why impact?

Every business on our planet was started for a particular reason: the owner saw an opportunity to do something they loved; they saw an opportunity to make money; they saw a problem that needed solving.

Today, more and more entrepreneurs and business owners are realising something else too: businesses can make a positive impact on our world as well. And when businesses add meaning and purpose to what they do, it makes a massive difference to that business in so many ways.

Trouble is, until now it’s not been easy to figure out how to do that, particularly when you’re running a business with other important priorities.

But now, that’s all changed.

“The reality is that currently less than 5% of giving comes from businesses.”

Challenges to embracing sustainability and social impact in business

So we asked hundreds of businesses “What makes philanthropy challenging for you?”

  • 60% are unsure how to start
  • 50% attributed it to the lack of time
  • 44% lacks in fund
  • 43% find it difficult to trust in the impact of charitable giving.

Do these reasons sound familiar to you?

But what if there is a different way - one that ensures that your giving actually transforms lives?

Imagine if every business in the world gave effectively in their own unique ways. This way, every problem in the world can be solved gradually, creating a new eco-system of giving.
