FOR FUNDERS

Lever for Change helps philanthropists from around the world discover and support the best opportunities for impact in their areas of interest.

Many ultra-wealthy individuals aspire to do more to help solve society’s most pressing challenges, but high-impact philanthropic opportunities can be hard to identify, evaluate, implement, and monitor. Lever for Change tackles these barriers by connecting donors with nonprofits and problem solvers they can be excited and confident about funding. It does so by administering customized competitions and by matching donors with the highly-rated, vetted proposals that such competitions yield. Learn more
