Sage Foundation: Goodie Winner (2026 BeCause Award)

The BeCause Award

🏆 For dedication to causes

‍
Sage Foundation Grow sent senior leaders into under-resourced nonprofits for six-month placements with no preset agenda, guided only by the question: what do you actually need? In 2025, the program reached 27 organizations globally and 96% described the experience as transformative. The impact went both ways, with 92% of participating leaders saying they returned changed as well, bringing back skills and perspectives they could not have developed elsewhere. Many of the six-month engagements evolved into lasting partnerships, not because that outcome was designed in, but because trust was built naturally over the course of the work together.
