Invest
WE take the guesswork out of investing in real and equitable change.Are you interested in becoming a funder or implementation partner? WE in the World is a not-for-profit that can help you find and invest in effective, community-based change-makers around the world.
Why Invest Together
WE trust those closest to the problems to create the solutions
Those who are closest to the problems are often the most creative and effective in finding the solutions but don’t have access to resources to power these solutions. We choose to trust and prioritize their leadership and walk alongside them to achieve impact.
WE identify and Invest in effective change efforts
Through our global network, we identify communities creating breakthrough solutions and invest in helping them scale their solutions.
WE help communities measure and evaluate change
We support communities to assess their change efforts in a way that fits what they are trying to do and helps them know when they need to change their approach. We put the power of data back in the hands of communities.
WE invest in sustainable and equitable change efforts
Real transformation is complex. Rather than funding a program, we invest in complex system change. We unleash the creativity and assets of communities experiencing inequities as they become communities of solutions.
Needed: $2M to sustain this system every year
Raised to date: $100,000
WE WIN TOGETHER DATA FOR POWER COOPERATIVE
Challenge: Communities experiencing racial, economic, rural and other place-based inequities are facing data erasure designed to mask threats to well-being–and never had what they needed to drive change in the first place. Â
Opportunity: WE believe every community should have the data they need to create change–to identify strengths and needs, to collect data that matters to them, and to have access to collective data infrastructure to drive well-being and equity.
The co-investment: With $2M a year, we can leverage this infrastructure for data liberation so that communities can define, collect and use the data we need for the well-being of the nation. Build the “we” that can power truthtelling, policy, narrative and system change using the data.
PRACTICAL POWERFUL CHANGE STRATEGIES
The Practical Powerful Change Innovation Fund powers our network with dedicated innovation infrastructure and resources (financial, accompaniment, system design, data) that help turn powerful ideas into a proof point others can invest in.
- What if food is medicine could be turned to “food is health and generational wealth?”Â
- What if communities could develop model permitting and policy that account for the impacts on health impacts and energy and water infrastructure from AI data centers–and creates opportunities for community stewardship and wealthbuilding to protect people and planet?
- What if we could account for the well-being of caregivers across the life span in ways that stabilized generations?
Needed: $5M in 2026; Raised: $100K
