THE UNFOUNDATION CREATES UNCONVENTIONAL GIVING OPPORTUNITIES TO UNCOMMON PROJECTS THROUGH UNLIKELY PEOPLE, YOU. THE FACE OF PHILANTHROPY IS CHANGING: WEALTH IS NO LONGER A PREREQUISITE.

The world faces multiple, simultaneous crises. Widening inequality and economic turmoil threaten communities around the globe. Biodiversity is declining. The impacts of climate change — from extreme heat to destructive floods — are becoming ever-more threatening. While the transition to a better future has begun, it’s not yet happening at the speed and scale necessary. What the world needs is a great transition. And WRI has the research, partnerships and global reach to help get it right. We envision a new era in which the world can meet people’s needs while curbing climate change and protecting nature. We see a future where everyone can enjoy clean air, walkable cities, vibrant landscapes, nutritious food and affordable energy. Ecosystems are thriving. The climate is stable. We start with rigorous research, work with partners to apply evidence-based approaches globally and in focus countries, and broadly share lessons learned to create systemic change around the world.

Our roots are in Africa. Our vision is pan-African; our reach is global. We offer full-service pan-African financial solutions and advisory services for public and private clients across Africa. We do so by leveraging our extensive knowledge of Africa and broad expertise to build bridges between global excellence and local knowledge. We turn our client countries’ bold visions into reality, executing and delivering at the regional and local level. We provide a platform for young professionals on the continent to use their skills, talents and enthusiasm to support Africa’s future.
