ID8 / GET INVOLVED

Bring Your Ideas. Share Your Experience. Help Build What Comes Next.

Social innovation takes more than one organization. Join a growing community of people contributing ideas, knowledge, time, connections, and philanthropic support.

Participation begins with whatever you can genuinely bring.

Projects in motion.

Bring funding, expertise, introductions, or a useful question to work that is already taking shape.

Choose how you want to take part.

Every contribution can help an idea meet its next useful person, resource, or question.

Support ID8Lab’s Mission

Every Gift Has a Place Here. Philanthropy should be participatory. Gifts of a few dollars—or a few hundred—help us welcome new ideas, convene communities, and give bold experiments room to grow. Participation matters more than the size of the gift.
