The Aid) Manifesto

We believe the world can be fair.

Because if it can’t… then what are we even working for?


We believe in creating a society that works for everyone.

Not just for those who can afford it.

Not just for those born in the right place at the right time.

For everyone.


And we believe that every donation, every action, every idea can be part of something greater than itself.

Because change never starts big.

It starts with one decision. One choice. One act of courage.


So what’s our dream?

It’s to build a new economy of giving.

Not to compete with Amazon, Apple or Facebook…

But to stand beside them.

To give the social impact sector the same power of technology and innovation that they’ve given to business.


Because only with that power can impact organizations fully focus on their mission.

Only with that power can they change the world at scale.


But to make this real, we must give the aid sector the same freedoms we give to business:

  • The freedom to reward people competitively to attract the best talent;
  • The freedom to tell their story loudly, without shame or restriction;
  • The freedom to take bold risks in pursuit of real growth;
  • The freedom to plan and invest for the long term, without the pressure of short‑term survival;
  • And the freedom to raise the venture capital required to achieve truly massive scale.

That’s why we’re not here just to build free IT infrastructure for charities.


We’re here to challenge the way the world thinks about giving.

To break the old paradigm that kept charity small.

To show that it can be bold. Scalable. Transformative.


Because charity doesn’t have to be the opposite of ambition.

It can be the greatest expression of it.


And that’s why we’re creating the Aid) Model for charities and startups – to make the world more just and truly fair for everyone.
