Established in 2010, MovingWorlds is a social purpose company that helps social enterprises connect with non-financial support to overcome any business challenge. Originally a skills-based volunteer matching platform, it has continued to add programmatic support – like learning, community, and networking with investors and corporate partners – to help social enterprises achieve their impact and revenue goals.

That same year, SAP, a global leader in enterprise software, began its social entrepreneurship journey partnering alongside Yunus Social Business as part of the global humanitarian response following a devastating earthquake in Haiti.

Established in 2015, TRANSFORM is a joint initiative between Unilever, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and EY set up to improve the lives of low-income households by blending funding and bespoke business support to deliver market-based solutions to the world’s biggest development challenges. Since then, it has contributed over £40 million to this effort.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic crisis, social enterprises needed (and still need) more support than ever before to survive and thrive on the other side. In order to meaningfully address such a complex global challenge, it was clear that we needed global solutions - by working together across geographies and industries, we could seize this window of opportunity to truly build back better.

In that spirit, MovingWorlds collaborated with SAP to launch The Sustainable Growth of Revenues for International Development (SGRID) Program to help social enterprises create sustainable revenue streams by partnering with the corporate sector. Similarly, TRANSFORM created a new online collaboration hub to facilitate cross-sector partnerships, and the World Economic Forum launched the COVID-19 Response Alliance for Social Entrepreneurs to mobilise non-financial support to social enterprises at scale.

In the pursuit of these efforts, we realised that by combining the global network, proven technology, and methodology behind S-GRID with the global brand, pro bono expertise, and ecosystems that MovingWorlds, SAP, TRANSFORM, and Unilever have built over the past decade, we can help social entrepreneurs get both the financial and non-financial support they need more seamlessly, through a single global hub.

In 2022, MovingWorlds, SAP, TRANSFORM, and Unilever collaborated to launch the TRANSFORM Support Hub: a global one-stop-online-shop for both non-financial and financial support – bringing together the BEST of offerings made available by the public, private, and social sectors to support the social entrepreneurship ecosystem.

And our work is just getting started. To provide the best support for social enterprises, the TRANSFORM Support Hub continues to partner with corporations, accelerators, and other social enterprise support organisations to find the most useful resources available to changemakers.
