Our mission is build a network of people working together to make the world a better place.
We do this by helping them achieve an impact in a way that capitalises on the reputational benefit of doing good: Individuals earn the respect of peers, companies benefit from engaged staff and positive PR, and charities have the opportunity to access increased levels of unrestricted funds. As shared goals emerge, collaboration between people from different sectors and backgrounds begins.
We are a company that is dedicated to connecting businesses and individuals to social & environmental causes, through experiences, managed foundations and fundraising events. Our goal is to create value for our clients, whilst matching their goals with personal passions and charitable giving. At a time when doing good is good for business, Inspired Ventures provides a smart way to make an impact.
Our expertise ranges from 15 years in impact travel, leadership training, personal development and worldwide fundraising events, which has produced a creative team that has the ability to drive value from your values.
Business has the power to change the global trends, with Inspired Ventures we empower businesses to take action, demonstrate their impact, and reap the rewards.
Inspired Ventures is a Certified B Corporation. B Corps are a new type of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. B Corp certification is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee.
