At DRK, we believe — even in the most challenging times — that hope does spring eternal.

While we see the same seemingly endless challenges, fragility, and chaos that others see in today’s world, our vision for the future is shaped by our essential belief in the power of one human being to make a difference in the lives of others. And why is this? Because, over more than 20 years and more than 245 investments in social enterprises and hundreds of leaders who run these organizations, we see it happen over and over again. These leaders see the challenges their communities and neighborhoods face, but unlike others, when confronted with injustice and inequity, they refuse to turn away. Instead, they commit themselves to finding solutions to these pressing issues. DRK’s portfolio organizations are on the front lines around the world, delivering hope to millions of people and making a real difference.

And, the work of DRK portfolio organizations and their exceptional leaders has not gone unnoticed. These organizations’ commitment to pioneering transformational change has been consistently recognized in the news and through prestigious awards and fellowships, underscoring their unwavering dedication to making a significant and enduring impact in our communities and beyond.
