OUR PURPOSE

Seed The Change | He Kākano Hāpai exists to help manifest an environmentally sustainable, equitable and joyous world.

We are actively exploring how to maximise the impact of both philanthropy and impact investment by establishing mutually reinforcing relationships between the two. We aim to have both our investments and our distributions contributing to the realisation of our mission, and ensure all of our activities are consistent with the principles underlying those objectives.

Our contribution:

  • Supporting good people grappling with wicked problems
  • Connecting people to integrate and leverage ventures
  • Help build the momentum, sustainability and critical mass of the ecosystem
  • Supporting early stage initiatives to grow
  • Collaborating with generous and inspiring people
  • Being possibility broker, deal-maker and active contributor
  • Being the change we want to see in the world.
