PURPOSE

Empowering Hearts, Inspiring Minds, Innovating Together

Our Story

The heart of the Born Global foundation is family. Blessed with four daughters,our firsthand experience means we understand the profound impact that our active engagement in their education has on their growth and development to becoming true citizens of the world. It’s with passion and dedication we created Born Global as a holistic learning environment to empower the next generation to integrate their educational paths with a deep reverence for our shared ecology and an entrepreneurial mindset toward employment.

We are an educational 501c3 nonprofit applying nature-based solutions to BiG projects in ecological restoration, environmental technology, and social change making. From organizing enriching activities to fostering mentorship - we support initiatives that address educational disparities and advocate for equal access to education, and make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
