We are proud of the work done by the network of 斗牛棋牌在线 Optimus Foundations and the difference they make to millions of lives every year. In 2024, we didn鈥檛 just meet the goal we set in 2021 of mobilizing USD 1bn in philanthropic capital by the end of 2025, we exceeded it. In total, we raised USD 1.1bn during that time.

Over the years, we have been learning and developing our innovative approach alongside our partners to advance our mission and fuel growth. This year, to celebrate the anniversary, we use these lessons to make your donation work smarter.

The initiatives you will support

To celebrate our 25th anniversary, we launched a dedicated initiative that will make your donations work smarter.

We鈥檙e partnering with trusted, well-known organizations that share our commitment to maximizing impact. Together we aim to make sure your donation works harder, and creates a ripple effect of lasting benefits for communities and ecosystems around the world.

Climate and environment

An ecosystem approach to scaling will help protect coastal communities and marine ecosystems

The challenge we face

Mangroves are crucial for shielding coastal communities from devastating storms and tsunamis, providing habitats for thousands of species, and playing a key role in combating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide. By 2050, more than half of the world鈥檚 mangrove ecosystems could collapse due to deforestation, pollution, and dam construction. Right now, 20% are already at critical risk1 and the stakes couldn鈥檛 be higher.

Our collective solution

What if together we could create a global blueprint for mangrove conservation and restoration by supporting mangrove-positive small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)?听A powerful coalition of donors, governments, and businesses could have a meaningful and lasting impact.

Education

Building public-private partnerships will help to deliver quality education for all

The challenge we face

The Covid-19 pandemic has deepened global learning gaps, particularly for marginalized children. Latin America is experiencing a silent tragedy. In recent years, the region鈥檚 countries have managed to reach nearly 96%1 enrollment rate for children in classrooms; however on average, only 56%2 of children are literate at the appropriate age. This means that every year more than 6 million children are not literate when they should be, resulting in great learning poverty. We need to accelerate progress significantly by investing into solutions that can close the gap. Your donation can make a profound difference.

Our collective solution

Imagine if we could scale the delivery of quality education, focusing on foundational skills in literacy and numeracy, and enhancing socio-emotional development for children through strategic partnerships with governments, industries, and the private sector. We could build effective education systems that empower children with the skills they need to thrive.听More information on our听education philanthropy.

Innovative financing

Empower youth by making education accessible

The challenge we face

Many talented young people, especially in regions like sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, are unable to afford tertiary education due to financial barriers. In sub-Saharan Africa, only 9% of young people access higher education, far below the global average.1 This wasted potential hampers economic growth and limits opportunities for these youth.

Our collective solution

What if we could transform lives by making quality tertiary education accessible to young people? Through flexible and innovative financing models like income-share agreements and outcome-based funding, we can invest in education to bridge the education gap and help unlock the potential of youth, providing them with the skills they need to build successful careers and contribute to their communities.

Health

Transforming the last mile for high-quality health 鈥 to bring healthcare to the underserved

The challenge we face

There is a USD 4.4 billion annual funding gap for community-level primary healthcare, including Community Health Worker (CHW)听programs. This underfunding, coupled with fragmented and inefficient financing, limits the reach and impact of healthcare services. With 70% of CHWs being women, their lack of support is also a significant gender equity issue. Yet, with proper funding and coordination, professional CHWs have the potential to save 2 million lives annually.听

Our collective solution

Imagine how undeserved communities would thrive if we can transform healthcare. Your support will enable us to help scale high-quality primary healthcare services through catalytic finance, political advocacy, and country-level programs.

Location:听Global, with a focus on Africa.
