WELCOME TO PATHFINDERS!
BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER
At the heart of every impact journey is someone who saw a problem they couldn't ignore and believed the world could be better because of the solution they could help create.
Whether launching a social venture, driving change within an established organization, serving your community, or leveraging decades of experience to empower others, you're a Pathfinder and we're here for you.
OUR VISION AND MISSION
Pathfinders envisions a world where positive change is visible, accessible, and contagious—where those taking action to create a better future are celebrated, supported, and connected around shared values.
Our day-to-day work focuses on bringing visibility, timely and relevant support, growth pathways, and a community with lived experience at all stages of the impact maturity journey, from inspiration to legacy.
WHY COMMUNITY MATTERS
To me, a strong community of people with values aligned with yours provides that safety net for action without all the details being clear. In the world of social impact, an aligned and collaborative community also allows individual actions to become broader movements. We're excited to be part of building such a community. Andrew Moss, CEO
THE PATHFINDER'S JOURNEY
We believe that turning purpose into lasting impact requires more than passion. It takes support, structure, and visibility along a clear growth path.
Our platform is built around The Pathfinder's Journey — a maturity curve that meets you wherever you are and helps you advance to your next stage of impact:
INSPIRE → AMPLIFY → BUILD → SCALE → LEGACY
Pathfinders is more than a technology and membership platform — it's about people. We're building an ecosystem to help changemakers overcome their unique challenges at every stage of their journey.

WHAT DOES PATHFINDERS MEAN TO A SLOTH?
"To me, Pathfinders is about slowing down to do what really matters. It’s about choosing purpose over pressure, people over profit, and progress that lasts. I see it in the quiet moments—smiling faces, helping hands, stories told with heart. With Pathfinders, we're building something bigger than ourselves, one thoughtful step at a time." Samson the Sloth, Brand Ambassador
SOLVING REAL CHALLENGES -- THE PATHFINDERS WAY
Pathfinders addresses critical system failures that prevent meaningful change from spreading:
-
Visibility Failure: Transformative "root cause" solutions remain invisible while "symptom solution" approaches receive disproportionate attention and resources. Through authentic impact storytelling, we elevate the personal journeys of Pathfinders and provide tools so they can share their work's impact effectively.
-
Support Fragmentation: Changemakers face a disconnected support ecosystem with critical gaps between visibility, funding, skill development, and community. We create cohesive pathways from inspiration to legacy impact, delivered on a timeline that suits each Pathfinder.
-
Short-termism: Current structures prioritize quick wins over patient capital and sustained support. We create in-house revenue generation opportunities and build support networks to carry Pathfinders through the inevitable gaps between inspiration, early action, and sustained impact.
