We help build and manage the world’s most sophisticated philanthropic portfolios that span the entire value chain of systemic change. To do this, we have developed an authoritative dataset of 10,000+ global grassroots movements, as well as an industry-leading predictive AI algorithm for investment matching and impact measurement.

The Altruist League helps craft leading sustainable investment products and strategies, for clients ranging from corporations to institutional investors. Our holistic approach reaches far beyond the box-ticking of the ESG evaluation process – it is aimed at building and demonstrating true credibility to shareholders, investors, customers and employees. 

We are the home of the Altruist Index™ and the Systemic Changemaker Score™, global standards for measuring the true societal impact of an organization’s activities. We have our finger of the pulse of the world through a deep understanding of the state of global activism and civil society. 

We help organizations diversify their funding and improve their impact through innovative financing mechanisms, blended finance, impact investing, and other market-based approaches. We make sure that these new tools amplify their core humanitarian mission.

The Altruist League is proudly a member-based organization. By focusing our membership on quality rather than quantity we ensure that the members care about and can directly benefit from the work that we do.

The Altruist League originally began as a philanthropic foundation, and still reserves a significant part of its profits to financing citizen activism around the world by investing in both the most prominent and the lesser known but essential grassroots movements in close to 100 countries.

The power of investor activism that can stir the wheel of corporation, is neither possible to stop nor ignore. The business should be prepared that its work will be under critical scrutiny all the time. Making a profit at any cost, without regard to how it affects society and the world at large, is simply not possible.
Charities can be directly involved, whether consciously or not, in the vortex of illegal money flows. Without an active policy of absolute financial transparency, effective filtering procedures for donated funds, and a clear stance on the treatment of illicit capital, philanthropy can tarnish its image and undermine the results of its work.
Philanthropists have to understand the context of their investment. To do this, we must map all the different stakeholders, with their beliefs, incentives and abilities. The worst thing we can do is assume that the environment we are stepping into is a vacuum which we can shape as we see fit.
We should empower women. This statement used to be a profound one. Today, it is almost meaningless. Everyone seems to agree with it, and have their own interpretation about what the phrase means.

15 lessons for changemaker philanthropists

Our groundbreaking study on the state of modern activism and the resulting 15 lessons for changemaker philanthropists is out. We thank the thousands of activists, philanthropists and investors around the world who participated in the study and helped write it.

The Altruist League

We use groundbreaking social change theory, a worldwide analyst network, and state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to build and manage the world’s most impactful philanthropy portfolios.

Our partners are carefully selected, visionary investors. These visionaries have their eyes open. They believe that philanthropy is the single most potent force for improving the world, but not just any philanthropy. They see philanthropy is in a crisis, its motives questioned, its results criticised. They believe that if philanthropy is to aspire to relevance, it must change.
