Maverick Collective
is redefining what it means to be a philanthropist.
The fastest way to end extreme poverty is to invest in girls and women.
Because when girls and women are healthy, safe and educated, they help transform societies and lift their communities and entire nations out of poverty.
Why we're different
We believe that solving big problems requires more than money.
It takes leaders who are willing to listen with empathy to the people they aim to serve, to fail and learn fast, and to lend their talents and voice to generate impact.
