Do you find yourself lacking the finances, partners, data, learning opportunities, and other resources needed to achieve the results you hope for? If so, you’re in good company. Many of us working to solve critical issues such as inequality and inclusion, climate change, and the protection of democracy could achieve far more if we were well-resourced.
Making Our Mission Relevant to You
Our mission is to propel the social sector by driving resources into organizations that most broadly and directly accelerate its progress. When social impact infrastructure organizations have the capacity to, for example, increase nonprofit and civil society capacities, global giving, volunteerism, and the public uptake of socially directed investments, they unlock an abundance of resources that many more of us can utilize.
Propel Philanthropy encourages social actors to move beyond working in silos alone to collectively increase the common good. Together, we can accelerate the social sector’s ability to advance all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our Approach
For organizations
We created a network of 45-plus social impact infrastructure organizations (SIIOs). Each one builds resources regionally, nationally, or globally. Collectively, we increase social assets, including charitable, human resource, and value-aligned social investment capital; nonprofit and philanthropic capacity, collaborations and partnerships, the scaling of innovations, and more.
For funders
We encourage and inspire funders individually or collectively to champion broad “mega solutions.” They can do so by working alongside SIIOs or by creating their own projects. Learn more.
As discussed in the section below, we also convene funders.
