We are trying to leave the world better than we found it.
Our Philosophy
One person and one project at a time.
Changing the world is exceptionally difficult. But, changing someone’s world? That is something we all can do. We believe in the transformative power of individuals and grass-roots projects.
Education is our most powerful tool for change.
Education has the ability to overcome almost all obstacles. Education opens doors. Education enhances self-worth. Education creates real change. Education lifts us so we can lift others and our planet.
We can’t separate people and planet.
We believe that if we take care of the earth, it will take care of us. Perhaps now, more than ever, it is critical that we work together to protect our shared home.
Lately, we’ve been thinking a lot about food waste.
Some problems feel too big to tackle, but solutions to food waste lay squarely in our hands. Project Drawdown ranked reducing food waste as one of the top strategies to tackle climate change with a positive social and economic impact.
You should know:
We’re not here to reinvent the wheel.
We believe that redundancy in the social sector leads to a waste of precious resources. The Blackbird Foundation partners with sustainable organizations that are implementing and discovering long-term solutions to our local and global challenges.
