As the Dgroups Foundation continues to evolve, we’ve taken time to reflect on what drives our work and where we want to go next. This process has helped us clarify and sharpen our Purpose, Mission, and Vision – not as a rebranding exercise, but as a reaffirmation of what the Foundation stands for and how we serve our partners and communities.
Our Purpose
The Dgroups Foundation helps people, communities, and organizations in international development, humanitarian aid, and social justice to collaborate more effectively – strengthening learning, inclusion, and impact.
Our Vision
A world where people and organizations collaborate and learn in inclusive, effective, and purposeful ways to advance social justice and achieve meaningful development outcomes.
Our Mission
We facilitate and support stronger collaboration, networking, and learning in development, humanitarian, and social justice work – by providing knowledge and expertise, advising on strategy and platforms, supporting online communities and campaigns, and connecting people and ideas – both online and in person.
To put this mission into practice, the Foundation’s work is organized around three complementary workstreams: Knowledge brokering, Partner engagement, and Support to projects – each contributing to a more connected and collaborative development community.
These refinements build on more than two decades of supporting online communities and partnerships.
They reflect what we’ve learned along the way, what current demands and opportunities look like, and how we can continue evolving with our partners to strengthen the culture and practice of collaboration.
