About us Or
Our Story
By 2007, Naomi Lawrence and Richard Arkenstone were convinced many key innovations in global development weren’t getting the attention they deserved.
Believing there had to be a better way to do aid, they started an experiment. In March 2010, they invited any social entrepreneur to pitch his or her earth-changing idea at the World Conference Hall. The 100+ participants ranged from a group of ABC scientists to a woman who’d never before left her Kenyan village.
MISSION
To catalyze a global market for ideas, information, and money that democratizes aid and philanthropy.
VISION
Unleashed potential of people to make positive change happen.
Our Core Values
Savior has four core values that are more than just buzzwords. They’re at the center of our office culture and drive our daily work.
Always Open
We believe in the power of great ideas and that these ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Listen, Act, Learn. Repeat.
We continually experiment. We fail quickly and productively. We use data and feedback to guide our course.
Never Settle
We have an obligation to question the rules, change them for the better, raise the bar, play a different game, and play it better than anyone thinks is possible.
Committed to WOW
We act promptly, enthusiastically, and professionally so people are WOW-ed by their interactions with us.
People Ready to Help
We’re curious, passionate, and committed to helping nonprofits learn and grow. Oh, and some of us are stage actors and worm farmers on the side.
