Growing Teams Need Great Leaders
Supporting the growth of an organization’s leaders is one of the most important investments we can make. That’s why we created Rippleworks Leaders Studio, a series of expert-led learning programs designed specifically for social impact organizations. We partner with leading industry executives to run interactive, results-driven learning programs where leaders build the critical skills needed to deliver impact at scale.
We focus on the most critical skills leaders need for scaling teams, informed by direct input from the thousands of leaders we support
Social venture leaders gain frameworks and actionable best practices as they learn directly from experienced industry executives
Participants are prepared to bring learnings to life through interactive sessions and post-workshop resources
Leaders learn in community, with support and feedback from other social venture leaders across the globe

Thank you for being here to help us be better leaders for our team, and for showing us the practical steps that we can implement right away. The world will be a better place because of it.”

Alternative Funding Strategies
Organizations looking toward their next stage of growth are often wrestling with two connected questions: who will actually pay for their organization’s impact at scale, and what has to change (in processes, team, and existing relationships) to unlock funding for that next level. Step back and reason across the full landscape of options (earned income, government partnership, blended finance, or continued philanthropy) in a community of peers.
Who this is for: CEOs, COOs, Development Directors, Chief Revenue/Growth Officers, and Partnership Leads
