Our supporters mean the world to us.
They make it possible for us to work with hundreds of thousands of young people to solve the biggest challenges of the day, from our work reducing unemployment and poverty, ending child marriage or stopping AIDS, to mobilising crisis responses during the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, the Nepal earthquake and COVID-19.
It is in our core organisational values to be accountable, professional leaders. We create mutually beneficial partnerships with each of our supporters, designed on their personal interests and challenges young people face across the globe.
Family Philanthropy
Many of our supporters invest in Restless Development because they believe in the leadership of young people, having seen it grow within their own family members. We offer opportunities for the whole family to be part of our partnerships, where young family members can learn about development and their role in it as a young philanthropist, including connections with specific projects which they can visit on trips to our work in Africa and Asia over time and bespoke personal development activities and workbooks to reflect on their personal journeys and learnings.
Personal Partnerships
Our supporters are a cherished part of the Restless family and we value not only their gifts but their expertise, advice and shared experiences with us as partners in our work. Our partnerships are personal and marry our supporters’ motivations for giving and interests with our values and youth leadership approach. We build partnerships so that our supporters have meaningful connections with young people and can witness first hand the impact we create together. We are able to offer trips to see our work in person, meetings with inspirational young leaders from around the world as well as with our staff leadership, events, stories and more.
We would love to talk with you more about this and answer any questions you may have.
