About Us

About

Faces of Impact is a global hybrid cultural institution and next-generation NGO catalyzing systemic change through storytelling, recognition, and diplomacy. We don’t just celebrate changemakers—we mobilize them to build the future.

Let's Retain & Grow

Your
Donor Base

Founded in 2023 in New York, United States, Faces of Impact was born from a vision to unite changemakers across continents, cultures, and generations. Today, it is actively expanding across all six continents, with new regional hubs in São Paulo (South America), Geneva (Europe), Nairobi (Africa), Singapore (Asia), and Sydney (Oceania).


We bridge inspiration with action — transforming recognition into real-world impact across the critical frontiers of climate, health, justice, innovation, education, and human development.


From art and science to policy and grassroots action, our platform activates diverse changemakers through recognition, convening, and collaboration. At our core is the belief that storytelling can shift systems—when elevated voices are heard, seen, and empowered to lead. Faces of Impact partners with governments, institutions, cultural leaders, and everyday citizens to turn bold ideas into action. Our programs span exhibitions, book series, summits, awards, films, and educational labs—all united by one mission: building a better world, together.
