Our Story

NewImpact was founded to unleash innovation and harness untapped opportunities that can create solutions to a wide-range of societal problems in a systematic way.

The pace of progress on major societal issues can be frustratingly slow, often because of the siloed nature of companies, governments, and nonprofits. In addition, there is a multi-trillion dollar funding gap that neither taxes nor philanthropy can fill on their own.

From our own experiences, we have seen first-hand that better financial and societal results can be achieved by synergistic models. Solving the range and complexity of problems facing our society requires a new approach.

We are inspired to:

• Break the silos of our existing system

• Repurpose and re-align existing assets

• Scale innovative approaches

• Discover pragmatic solutions to real life problems

• Engage multiple sectors in what are clearly systemic problems, and

• Do so with self-sustaining models

Our Purpose

• NewImpact seeks to change the way the world finds opportunities and solves problems.

• We passionately work to forge tri-sector innovation and unleash massive global resources for economic, social, and environmental progress.

Theory of Change

• To drive impact in the world, we need to change how our organizations work and solve problems & harness opportunities, by breaking silos and utilizing the best resources & ideas from companies, nonprofits, and governments

• To change organizations, NewImpact reaches & supports an organization’s internal innovators & champions to drive that change

• We inspire those innovators with a new, tri-sector mindset and give them a pragmatic workbench with tools to change how their organization delivers impact in the world

Additionally, these tools also create a “civic engagement” open data tech platform as a public good that enables people to share insights & resources and contribute to innovation for Good.

By catalyzing how organizations work to include repurposing the best resources from all sectors, we improve how society utilizes its existing resources and preserves new financing for where it is most needed.

Our Beliefs

• Tremendous assets exist un-leveraged in all three sectors that can be unlocked for new value when seen from a new perspective.

• Harnessing the self-interests of all three sectors is essential to drive sustainable solutions to scale.

• Tri-sector innovators exist across all organizations and sectors, who can create new, or augment existing, business models.

• Private sector value creation and good for society can be synergistic.

• There is significant investment capital available to companies that use tri-sector business models to drive higher returns and greater social impact.

• It is through the combined, collective efforts of people, companies, non-profits, and governments that we can create a better world.
