Profile

Humanity United, headquartered in the United States, is a philanthropic organization dedicated to transforming harmful systems into pathways for peace, freedom, and justice. The firm was founded by The Omidyar Group and has a team focused on addressing complex global issues. They are notable for their comprehensive approach that covers various aspects of social justice, including forced labor, human trafficking, peacebuilding, racial justice, and equity.

Humanity United is committed to several key areas: forced labor and human trafficking, peacebuilding, racial justice, and public engagement. The organization makes investments in social impact and change rather than traditional financial investments. They focus on creating sustainable change through strategies that empower communities and foster cooperative social frameworks.

While Humanity United does not engage in typical venture capital activities, its impact can be seen in social change initiatives and partnerships. Notable efforts include the Harriet Tubman Fellowship, which focuses on labor trafficking survivors, and initiatives in diverse areas such as migrant worker support and racial justice. Their alliances and collaborations are aimed at long-term systemic change rather than financial returns.
