Unconditional cash transfers as a catalyst for change

At Foundations for Social Change, we believe in a kind and inclusive world where everyone thrives. Our purpose is to innovate, test, and advocate for new social models to advance shared prosperity.

For our inaugural New Leaf project, we set out to test an innovative and unique idea – providing unconditional cash transfers to those who are homeless and who were not struggling with severe drug misuse or mental illness, and letting them choose how best to support themselves with it.

Our approach is based on trust and self-sufficiency. When given the opportunity, people can move beyond homelessness and navigate to a better future.

Our bold action paid off and we are passionate about expanding our work.

take bold action

Compelled by the success of our pilot, our expert team is planning the launch of a new expansion project. To support this ground-breaking work, we will be embarking on a fundraising campaign in the coming months.

This is your chance to be among the first to give.

Your support will empower us to carry out the world’s most rigorous and significant direct cash transfer project to address homelessness.

Together, we can transform lives and create a legacy of social good.
