🌟 Social Capitalists: A New Approach to World-Changing

LIP #124

Jul 16, 2025

Social capitalists represent a revolutionary approach to solving world problems. Unlike traditional philanthropy, this concept:

• Identifies 1,000 influential people actively working on global issues
• Provides consistent annual funding ($100,000 per year, potentially scaling to $1-10 million)
• Focuses on sustainability - ongoing support rather than one-time donations
• Empowers existing changemakers rather than starting from scratch

The only restriction: funds cannot go to family members.

This model emerged from Next Jump's 2018 leadership discussions about fixing the world and represents a shift from traditional charitable giving to strategic, sustained empowerment of those already making a difference.
