How do you activate a small-scale visionary?

We cultivate a global network of partners and friends—from explorers to teachers to org leaders—who help us identify and get to know potential small-scale visionaries with a remarkable level of access, context and sensitivity.

When a potential visionary has been identified, they get access to our incubator program, which combines personal coaching and process learning to help them articulate their ideas, structure their actions, build a network of supporters and develop a set of professional assets they can use to represent themselves.

Every step of this work is developed and documented on the Wonderment platform —giving the visionary a digital home for their emerging work and giving supporters and collaborators real-time access to the process and one another.

When the visionary has hit key stages of development and has a viable initial project that embodies their vision, the Fund directly provides the needed seed money to get to work. Because the project has been deeply developed and vetted (and continuous updates are available on the platform), everyone involved can see exactly where the resources are being applied and what they're making possible.

As insights and developments emerge, our storytelling partners glean, develop and produce compelling multimedia content to share it. This not only helps the visionary show the power of who they are and what they're doing, but also builds a momentum of organic, accessible awareness—in forms that make it highly shareable amongst our diverse network.
