As a B Corp, LEAD Forward is part of a powerful global movement of leading organizations such as Patagonia and Ben&Jerry's, whose equitable and sustainable business practices meet the highest standards of social and environmental sustainability.
The B Corp certification is a global recognition of organizations’ social and environmental performance along five categories: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. We invite you to become part of this change. You can become a B Corp too!
At LEAD, we believe in empowering organizations like yours that are dedicated to driving culture transformation, embodying strong values, and enacting leadership change. Our LEAD Impact Fund is committed to supporting small and grassroots non-profits that strive for a lasting impact but may lack the necessary funding to achieve their goals.
We understand the financial challenges you may face, which is why our fund is designed to alleviate some of the costs associated with our professional services. By partnering with us, you'll gain access to our full range of services at a reduced cost, enabling you to maintain your focus on creating meaningful change without the burden of financial constraints.
We seek to support organizations with an intersectional lens that are often overlooked by traditional funding avenues. If your mission aligns with our vision of sustainable and inclusive development, we invite you to join hands with us. Let's work together to make a significant impact on society. Please reach out to us!
"Thanks to the LEAD Impact Fund our NGO was able to afford two workshop days, from which we benefited in the long term." - Claudia Meister, Hanseatic Help, e.V.
In our work, we incorporate three principles that are at the core of our mission. If you work together with us, expect us to shine in all three.
Expect us to be sharp in our work. We will strive to deeply understand your business, pinpoint the most pressing challenges, crystalize your strategic ambition, and help you communicate a way forward with clarity.
Count on us to live lightness in our work. We keep processes lean, we are unconventional yet effective in our interventions, and are always ready to think creatively about how to shake up the status quo.
Trust that we can handle even the deepest concerns and fears that come with transformation. Together we will unlock the true power that lies in your wonderful people.
We are excited to make your organization more resilient, to help you get ready for an unknown future, to jointly make a positive impact on your people, work and the world.
We call our beautiful Kreuzberg space home. And you can also find us in one of our regional hubs: Nuremberg, Cologne and Rhine-Main area.
