A New Model for Building Solutions

 

Approach

We provide financial capital, professional training, thought partnership, and mentoring to help turn evidence and experience into purposeful work that benefits society.

Stanford Impact Labs is co-led by a faculty director and executive director who receive strategic support from an associate director. Our core team of professional staff run our competitive investment process and programs, manage operations, and provide resources and support to faculty, research teams, and students.
