New Legacy Board Members
We’re so grateful for the people carrying this work forward. This month, we expanded our legacy board by 6 as we continue onwards in developing the nonprofit startup ecosystem.
 Christina Habib Chief Insight Officer, UNilever |  Vladimir Bozovic Consul General of Serbia in New York, and President, Society of Foreign Consuls |
 Gina Otto Founder, We the Peoples Fund, and former special advisor to the Pope |  Kelsey Moon Founder, Beauty Will Save The World |
 Todd Jacobson Founder and CEO, TAJ Global, and former head of social responsibility, NBA |  Iva Kaufman Principal, Iva Kaufman Associates |
Meet the TRIIBE I00 Program
The relationships that carry a founder for decades often start with a real conversation, not a pitch.
TRIIBE invites every donor giving $1K or more to meet the TRIIBE I00, at our summit and online. See who they are at triibe.org/100.
One hour. One-on-one conversations. Four rounds of 15 minutes. We’re planning for sessions to run the 4th Monday of every month.

Growing with the UN
This past week, Kyle had the honor of being the speaker for the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s forum with the UN System Staff College (UNSSC).
We’re grateful to begin partnering with UNSSC, adding to our partnership with the UN Global Compact, and to partner with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) on the fashion show planned for next year’s Next-Gen Summit.
A new chapter for TRIIBE
We’ve rebuilt how we share our work, with new language and new decks. Here’s TRIIBE at a glance:
The next gen will inherit the world’s problems. We back the leaders already solving them.
TRIIBE is the pipeline philanthropy has been missing, backing nonprofit founders under 30.
The TRIIBE I00 index represents 23 countries, 653 years of nonprofit leadership, and $15.5M raised last year.
Measured by Purposefy, every dollar donated to these next-gen philentrepreneurs yields $3.60 in social return.
Donations support the TRIIBE I00 via direct funding, operational support, and visibility.
We’re also grateful to share that we won the trademark for TRIIBE! We’ve been heads-down building, and our socials haven’t kept pace. That changes now. We’re partnering with a new social media team, alongside the founder of Meadow (1.4B TikTok views), to redesign our presence and promote philentrepreneurship. Look forward to a new social media campaign coming soon!
AI and mental health programs
As promised last month, here are the programs we’re preparing to launch for the TRIIBE I00.
AI for good starts with who uses it.
TRIIBE puts AI in the hands of the TRIIBE I00, piloting two programs for founders to develop AI agents, with Glia and Terra.do (supported by Google and GitHub).
Lastly, wiht Grant Authority we provide our AI-powered grant database for search, application, and submission tracking to anyone. We’ve begun applying to grant opportunities and look forward to their results.
Missions stall when founders burn out.
Our support is holistic: we invest in the founder, not just the organization.
Weekly sessions: Every Wednesday at 2pm ET, one of five coaches hosts a session on mental health, connection and mental performance. One-on-ones are available too.
Peer sessions: One hour. The second Monday of every month. Four 15-minute one-on-ones with other fellows.
Monthly themes
November | Self-mastery | April | Positivity |
|---|---|---|---|
December | Team dynamics | May | Burnout and loneliness |
January | Confidence | June | Storytelling |
February | Emotional intelligence | July | Recap and review |
March | Habit formation | August | Renewed self-mastery |
Our sessions are peer support and mental performance coaching, not clinical treatment.
Our coaches
Vincent Infante, mental performance coach
Kaitlin O’Toole, go-to mindset coach
Adeline Azrack, executive life coach
