We Share Forward Foundation
We Share Forward (WSF) transforms philanthropy from a linear, fragmented system into a circular, collaborative ecosystem. It operates a revolving fund where successful beneficiaries “share it forward” to fund new changemakers, alongside catalytic co-funding alliances that pool resources from diverse funders to de-risk systemic solutions. Using a dual-entity structure in the Netherlands and Switzerland, WSF acts as a neutral orchestrator to unlock capital and cross-sector intelligence for long-term social innovation.
Systemic Lenses (Impact Approach)
Ecological The foundation co-initiated the European AgriFood Co-Funding Alliance to pool resources for initiatives with high systemic leverage for transforming European agriculture toward regenerative systems.
Economic It actively redesigns philanthropic capital flows from a linear, extractive model to a regenerative, circular one by using revolving funds that mobilize follow-on capital.
Social The model redistributes power by transforming beneficiaries from passive recipients into active funders (“share it forward”) and moving decision-making to distributed multi-stakeholder alliances.
Narrative / Belief WSF explicitly works to shift the dominant philanthropic narrative from “charity” and “scarcity” to “solidarity,” “shared stewardship,” and a “regenerative flow of capital.”
