Join the coalition
on Open Impact
We see swelling a movement of support around those who are already acting as the surest path to weave a more resilient future. Open Impact is both a rich network of global changemakers and a tool for all things “doing”— letting you spend more time on what you do best: serving your mission. Access the tools you need to work together more effectively, learn from other efforts, measure your progress as you go, and connect with an ecosystem of peers, volunteers, & funders.
“The Open Impact platform is what we have been dreaming of as projects on the ground for decades…it’s not just another dream of the technosphere, it’s responding to the real need to bridge the gap between the local realities of regenerative action and funding mechanisms, in a way that is informed by and cooperates with living systems.”
— Pablo Friedlander, PhD
Cultivating a thriving community
In November of 2021, we onboarded 30 impact organizations in 13 countries to the Open Impact platform. Today, we’re moving into our beta launch with 170 organizations in 16 countries, who are learning and testing with us as we incorporate feedback and expand our vision together. We recently harvested some of these learnings with Open Future Forum, where 300 of our partners and allies in 36 countries participated in 34 hours of programming.
We are honored to be growing alongside a rich impact ecosystem who are stewarding innovative and essential projects in areas like Regenerative Agriculture, Food Systems, Water, Community Wellness, Community Resilience, Climate Action, and Economic Equity. From community-led watershed remediation in Rajasthan to food systems collaboration and education in Hawai’i, healthy childcare in Chicago to food forests in Zimbabwe, we truly believe that this rich soil of collective learning will allow a vibrant and complex understory to take root.
Join the list for our Beta launch
We launched the Private Alpha of the Open Impact platform in November of 2021 with 30 organizations in 13 countries. We’re currently applying early user feedback while modeling sectoral and cross-sectoral weaving through learning groups in the Regenerative Agriculture, Water, and Community Wellness spaces. We look forward to expanding access in the coming months.
