We are currently seeking funding from philanthropic donors and foundations to help us fund our world-changing research
We engage independent researchers, including activist-scholars, practitioner-scholars, public intellectuals, and research consultants in important research for social change.
We distribute our research through traditional and non-traditional channels (journals, videos, podcasts) to ensure it accessible to those who will benefit most, including grassroots activists, practitioners, and community members with lived experience. Always open-access.
We actively engage with partners to apply our research findings to their interventions, validate our research or adjust it to various contexts, and co-design innovate evidence and action informed solutions to pressing local and global challenges.
We’re always looking for community journalists, media and communications volunteers, research assistants, and admin members to help us across the entire research process.
If you’ve recently completed a research project that your current organisation won’t continue funding (or you’re an independent researcher keen to start one) connect with us to see how we can support you beyond the academy.
