our story
Our mission is to cause a seismic shift in the way businesses and non-profits work together.
At Cause for Change, we help build impactful collaborations between business and non-profit’s.
There are over 160 thousand charities in the UK alone. Most are hidden from view. The sad reality is, many non-profit innovators are battling for resources.
Meanwhile, business is striving for distinction, engagement and growth. Yet one-way charity partnerships with the usual suspects are doing little to fuel their progress.
Maybe business needed a hand. We knew where to look and what to look for. So that's what we did. We took influential non-profits to business - non-profits with the ideas and expertise to tackle urgent priorities.
But we were met with a challenge. Business viewed charity with a ‘giving back’ mindset, separate from the strategic decision-making that was driving culture, growth and brand identity. The innovation and business potential was difficult to realise.
Something had to change. It was time for business to reimagine their non-profit partnerships. We decided to seek out business leaders who were willing to lead the way.
So that's what we do today. Help business move from ‘giving back’, to ‘impactful collaboration’; because we believe every business should be actively involved in solving societies problems.
Our Values
Our values reflect who we are. Why we gave up well-paid jobs to do something that matters more than money. Something that makes us jump out of our chair when we see businesses missing a trick. Like you, we think commercially and act ethically.
We’ve got a lot of passion, enthusiasm, and fight. Sometimes we speak really fast. We can’t help it. We’re driven by a sense of urgency.
Because now is the time to change business for good.
INVENTIVE
We are curious, open, and ambitious.
We nurture creativity and invest in risk-taking.
WISE
We are committed to lifelong learning.
We draw on diverse knowledge and experience to strengthen our practice.
BOLD
If it matters we say it.
We stand up for what we believe in, even if it challenges the status quo.
