Graham: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! As Visa’s corporate foundation, Visa Foundation believes in uplifting everyone, everywhere through the power of economic mobility. Utilizing our expertise, resources, and global reach, we strive to enable equitable access to capital through grants, support broader community needs through employee volunteering, and provide disaster response in times of crises through strategic partnerships such as our partnership with the American Red Cross.
Mathias: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! We work with leading experts in various fields to provide education to professionals through conferences, webinars, teaching courses, etc. Our education is worldwide and aims to share best practices around the globe and understand challenges that some are struggling with. We make sure that money is no barrier to the education we provide as we offer various platforms, rotate our meetings around various regions and align our fees with the World Bank country classifications. Furthermore, we make sure that we have gender and regionally balanced committees and speaker lineups. In addition to education we also build communities and partnerships within specific fields which lead to research collaborations and sharing of knowledge beyond our events.
Mel: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Our company and team believe in the power of friendships to change the world! Some of the biggest challenges across the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals can’t be solved by one person or organization, much like sometimes you need to work in groups on projects assigned by your teacher. Landmark Ventures touches on all of the SDGs, but our main focus is on building relationships between leaders, funders, innovators, and experts to form partnerships that solve challenges together.
