About Synergos

Synergos is a global nonprofit organization solving complex
issues and deeply entrenched societal problems around the world by
advancing Bridging Leadership, a style of leadership which builds
trust and collective action. Our experience over the last 35 years
in more than 30 countries tells us that collaboration, shared
vision, and deeper understanding releases more and better
solutions.

Today we help create enabling environments across sectors so
that communities can better address the most urgent challenges of
our time: poverty, social injustice, and climate change. Our work
has employed our Bridging Leadership methodology in a variety of
areas: child safety and education in Bangladesh, leadership
development in Ethiopia, agricultural development in Nigeria, youth
entrepreneurship in MENA, maternal health in Namibia, small town
regeneration in South Africa, non-profit capacity building in
Brazil and more.

In addition to our program work, we manage a global network for
leading philanthropic individuals and families called The Global
Philanthropists Circle (GPC). Members of the GPC use Bridging
Leadership approaches to collaborate with and learn from their
peers through a rich program of learning events and by
participating in Collaborative Communities. Members share Synergos'
commitment to create a more just, equitable, peaceful and
regenerative world. Leading with inner work, we nurture a deep
trust among our members and cultivate a brave space to share
challenges and shift perspectives as the role of philanthropy
continues to transform.
