Welcome & Land Acknowledgement

Together, we acknowledge indigenous peoples, on whose ancient and sacred land we live, work, and play.  As a community, we recognize the ever-present systemic inequities that stem directly from past wrongdoings, and we commit ourselves indefinitely to respecting and reconciling this long history of injustice.

Who

A strategic network of organizations, individuals, and communities united by common purpose

8

Goals

  • Advance intergenerational well-being and equity
  • Change cultures and systems that perpetuate legacies of trauma and exclusion
  • Cultivate the vital conditions that everyone needs to thrive

How

We aim to catalyze change through:

  • Building shared stewardship to support resilience and renewal
  • Transforming our relationships and our narratives
  • Transforming our system of measurement to one that is equitable, centers well-being for people and places, and shares power with communities
  • Shifting policies and investments to build an inclusive and equitable economy

What is the Well-Being in the Nation (WIN) Network?

WIN Measure Domains

7 of 23

By applying a racial justice frame to the WIN Measures, we aim to prioritize, develop and restore Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities using data that tells a complete and transparent story. In order to be effective and explicitly anti-racist, we must go beyond the identification of disparate outcomes across racial groups. We seek to include measures that:�8

  • Address equitable input in decision-making
  • Promote equitable access and opportunity
  • Highlight community-based assets and values
  • Lift-up promising interventions, remedies, and solutions
  • Expose systemic racism

8Further, we seek to disaggregate data, where possible, and apply an intersectional perspective in order to highlight the unique needs and characteristics of each racial and ethnic group.

What do we mean by racial justice?

8 of 23

By applying an intergenerational wellbeing lens to the WIN measures, we intend to recognize:

  • How different age cohorts experience wellbeing within each of the domains

  • How the wellbeing of different groups is connected across generations

�In doing so, we will reflect the complex intersectional nature of the domains, that addressing disparities and inequities will require strategies which will have long term impact over generations, and of the need to develop multi-generational longitudinal measuring strategies.

What do we mean by intergenerational well-being?

WHO WE ARE

WHAT WE DO

2022

Founded in 2016

64,000 people impacted

12 countries

across Asia Pacific and the USA

$1,000,000 raised in service to people and the planet

OUR SECRET SAUCE

Lies in the ability to connect women of color and indigenous entrepreneurs across an expansive region meaningfully to resources, new skills, and community.

We envision a world without poverty in unity with women and indigenous communities.

Weavers have the ability to earn income in their own communities, and for women, it is income they can control directly.

LIVES IMPACTED

raw materials ordered

3 looms built

6 women trained in weaving

Nusa Penida, Indonesia

Enterprise:

Women reinvest 90% of their earnings back into their communities, while men reinvest ~30%.** The women selected for the ASEAN WISE Fellowship particularly demonstrate this by aggregating impact: they help other women earn an income, who in turn reinvest their earnings into their communities.

Women are key drivers to ending poverty.

*Data come from select enterprises as not all 35 enterprises in our network collect income data.

**According to a World Bank Report in 2014.

Through our integrated capital funding, Angels of Impact has touched the lives of 64,000 women and their families.

Available data from enterprises that have been through the accelerator program shows that women working with these enterprises experience on average more than double their income.*

OUR IMPACT

Why it matters

We work with women and indigenous leaders who are natural stewards of their families, communities, and environment. When we invest in them, they in turn help others, ultimately benefiting whole societies. We've heard of women buying refrigerators with the income they earn, for example, and thus being able to provide better nutrition to their families. Others have enrolled their children in school and moved into better homes.

64,000

INCREASE OF INCOME FOR WOMEN OF COLOR

45%

    • 95% of entrepreneurs in our accelerator say that their artisans feel more empowered when working with their social enterprises.
    • 84% of respondents said that Angels of Impact was more valuable in terms of preparedness to approach funders/grantmakers than the most valuable program they had ever attended.

We prioritize deep impact within enterprises that in turn impact whole communities.

CASE STUDY: IMPACT OF A $6,000 USD GRANT

45% increase in income for weavers

RESULT:

Women are now decision-makers and contribute to household income. They have also increased their capacity to dream and become independent entrepreneurs.

HOW WE MEASURE IMPACT

We listen to anecdotal evidence about intangibles like confidence and a sense of belonging.

We accompany entrepreneurs overtime to observe how circumstances evolve

We align UN SDG indicators with the development of communities in our network.
