Our project partners around the world are the real force behind change. They are the actual changemakers, every day within their own communities.

We are proud to support their amazing efforts and are committed to making the Wealth Inequality Initiative's community grow globally.

Are you an NGO, a community-based organization or a social enterprise with an innovative idea and would like to become part of our Initiative as a changemaker? Share your visionary project with us!
