AGO is a movement accelerator. We work with activists and funders to tell powerful stories, grow movements, and accelerate positive social change.
What we do
We help human rights and climate activists build community and audiences around their ideas.
Strategic communications
Strategy, branding, and campaigns that promote ideas, build audiences, and strengthen activist communities
Movement infrastructure
Collaborative, learn-by-doing approach to capacity building, coalition building, training, and coaching
Civic incubation
Pilot programs and fellowships, research, insights, and resources to shift power, strengthen civil society, and grow movements
How we do it
Investing in leaders and communities
Too often, those who do social good are expected to solve complex problems through sheer passion and grit. We want to change that.
Prioritizing communications
Marketing and communications are often sidelined as a low priority, or cut out of operational costs altogether.
Planning for the long term
“Overhead” and strategic planning are chronically underfunded, leaving organizations unable to pursue longer-term strategies and grow.
Creating space for new approaches
High-impact breakthroughs happen through experimentation and research, but there are few opportunities to field-test new ideas.
