Our mission
is to host the world's change-makers, enabling climate and social action.

We remove barriers, provide expert support, and connect funders with grassroots movements to create real transformation from the ground up.

Our vision
is a world where anyone can make change happen.

Who We Are

At HOST, we offer ourselves as an "ally for action". We exist to enable people who won't accept the status quo — people with the vision and determination to tackle the world's toughest challenges.

Since we started in 2020, we've been a trusted partner to over 90 movements in more than 80 countries, providing the infrastructure, expertise, and funding access they need to scale their impact.

We work hand-in-hand with activists, grassroots groups, intermediaries, service providers, and funders — taking care of financial, operational, and legal complexities so change-makers can focus on what they do best: making change happen.

HOST is established to support people shaping a better world — and we're on that journey too. From the way we work to the choices we make, we're committed to learning, improving, and contributing to a more just future. Explore our impact story and what we're building next for more.

Our approach

We understand that the world's challenges
— climate, social, economic, and racial —
are deeply interconnected.

That's why we work across multiple sectors, supporting progressive change and amplifying voices
that are often the hardest to reach and fund.

Our approach is shaped by two key principles of justice
that guide our strategic vision:

Responsibility

The greater the contribution to the problem, the higher the burden of responsibility.

Capacity

The greater the ability to impact, the more the contribution to the endeavour.

Alongside these principles, we are guided by our core values

We act with
integrity

We deliver on our promises, believe in our partners' vision, and celebrate their success.

We act with
purpose

The world's challenges demand action. We push ourselves to do better, knowing our support helps movements go further, faster.

We act
together

Change happens when we collaborate. We build trusted partnerships and work as an extension of our partners' teams.

We believe in doing the right thing, acting with urgency,
and working alongside change-makers to create a better world.

Safety, confidentiality, and trust

We treat confidentiality and care for personal and organisational safety as foundational to our role as a project host. We only share identifiable information with explicit permission, and in ways that respect individual partners and the wider network.

This is a horizontal commitment that applies across all our work, particularly where partners operate in complex or sensitive contexts.
