About the partnership
Reach for Change is a global non-profit founded in Sweden with a vision of a world where all children and youth reach their full potential. Since 2010, they have supported over 1,500 social entrepreneurs in 18 countries across three continents, turning ideas into sustainable solutions. They believe every child deserves to grow up free from poverty, inequality, and climate change. To achieve the goals of Agenda 2030, investing in those closest to the challenges is essential. Together with foundations, institutional, and corporate partners, they create tailored initiatives that empower local social entrepreneurs at different stages of their journey.
In 2023, we joined forces with Reach for Change and the Tim Bergling Foundation to co-found Next in Mind—an ambitious collective initiative tackling the growing mental health challenges of emerging adults (18-29) in the Nordics. Through a dynamic incubator program supporting 20 social entrepreneurs, alongside targeted advocacy efforts, we are driving meaningful change and shaping a future where mental well-being is prioritized and supported at every level of society.
We support…
…these engaging changemakers.
Their work in the world is making real inroads in the world of inner health. We are proud to join them on their essential journey.
