Our vision

Our vision is a world in which the rights of all people and our planet are upheld, enabling human beings to thrive, collaborate and build life-sustaining societies. A world where money flows in service of this vision, not just profit.

Our purpose

We believe that bringing this world into being requires leaders at the forefront of change to navigate complexity, power, conflict, and funding while joining forces across silos, sectors, and worldviews.

Our purpose is to support a diversity of changemakers around the world — from human rights defenders and feminist movements to Indigenous collectives and philanthropic funders — to more effectively and resourcefully address systemic problems.

What we do

Since Spring's founding in 2004, we've supported our partners to achieve their goals with transformative programs, strategies and tools that inspire smart risk-taking and bold, creative new moves.

We tailor our programs to our partners needs, shifting and evolving with their specific internal and external contexts, as well as global trends. Our offerings focus on leadership coaching, financial resilience and meaningful collaboration.
