Synergos
Founded in 1986, Synergos is a nonprofit organization that brings people together to address the underlying causes of poverty and inequity in innovative ways that lead to meaningful, long-term change.
Synergos builds and supports networks of leaders engaged in efforts to reduce poverty and increase equity around the world. We work with these philanthropists and civil society leaders, as well as with community-based groups, businesses, governments, foundations and international organizations, to make sustainable systems changes that enhance the opportunities for and help meet the needs of those who are poor and marginalized.
Drawing on over 20 years of experience bringing people together across divides, Synergos explores, forms, facilitates and supports partnerships that include and respect the wisdom of all key stakeholders. We also work to develop the local leadership, capacity and institutions that are needed to sustain these initiatives. In addition, we share our learning and those of others in order to increase the impact of our combined work.

Agents For Change
We are social change catalysts. We support sustainable solutions to global poverty and inspire youth to create a better world.
At Global Agents for Change we believe that no dream is too big and nothing is impossible, that inspired and motivated young people can truly change the world.
- We provide funding and mentorship for young social entrepreneurs (12-18) with projects capable of meaningful impact, and work with teachers and schools to speak with young people about the power of youth to shape their world.
- We are building the world’s largest youth run microcredit fund, supporting hundreds of developing world entrepreneurs in their struggle to escape poverty and tangibly connecting young people to global issues.
