Mission
Purpose Earth is a global grant and mentorship program empowering grassroots, community leaders and their transformative solutions.
Program accomplishments
- In 2025 the organization continued community outreach efforts to fund and mentor purpose-driven people and projects with creative solutions to global challenges including Environmental Restoration, Community Activation and Cultural Collaboration. We are very proud of the accomplishments of Purpose Earth in 2025. Of special note was a fundraiser that we held to purchase shoes for the Ntchesa Classroom Block Construction Project in Malawi for children who were unable to walk to school barefoot due to the heat of the scorching ground. We raised $1000 that was sent to the Wongani Masinga to purchase much needed footwear for 50 children. Additionally, we supported the travel of Drs. Rama Alexander and Alexander Schieffer, founders of Home of Humanity NGO, to visit 7 Purpose Earth grant recipient projects in 5 countries.Expenses $37,590 · grants $10,900
