Available to everyone.
Solving the World’s Greatest Problems is fueled by generous partners who long to see human flourishing across the globe. Our mission is to champion innovative problem solvers, equipping them to drive lasting change. Through this platform, everyone can access world-class tools to understand the challenges we face—and discover meaningful ways to engage. Here’s a few of our favorite tools:
Foundation Group
More than 25,000 entrepreneurs and investors have already walked through Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Investor Foundation Groups. Building on that momentum, we’ve created this Foundation Course to help you and your family discern the best ways to get involved. Join a community of peers—online or at your local church—and take the next step together.
Bracket Tools and Assessments
Know God more fully and find the best place you’re called to Build, Invest and Give. We encourage all visitors to explore the Bracket Tools, Assessments and discover where they’re called to get started.
Podcasts for Every Problem
Over time, each SWGP SWGP Giving Fund will release its own podcast season—offering a clear lens on the problem and spotlighting the innovators stepping in to make a difference. Go behind the scenes and witness how God is at work through these stories.
Board of Advisors
The Board recognizes the immense value that trusted voices bring to the mission. These individuals—ranging from theologians and practitioners to entrepreneurs, investors, givers, philanthropists, and cultural voices—offer critical insights and field experience that inform strategy, challenge assumptions, and strengthen execution.
The Board will regularly engage this extended network in various ways, including:
Strategic input through roundtables
Content shaping and storytelling
Field testing key initiatives or prototypes
Speaking into major thematic or industry-specific conversations
A strong fund is supported by a thoughtful, engaged Advisory Board that complements the leadership of the Governing Board. This is a broad group of subject matter experts and committed givers that are regularly engaged in WhatsApp groups and thinking of ways to solve the problem.
Other Responsibilities
Financial Partner and Engaged Participant: We ask members to pledge 1% of their time and resources towards solving big problems. While SWGP Giving Funds are widely available, members can commit their time and resources to either these funds or any place where they feel called. Join quarterly virtual calls, lead groups . View involvement as part of their family’s Kingdom “battle plan.”

Co-Founders
We are honored to recognize the catalytic partners who help shape, launch, and steward a fund from the very beginning.
Co-Founders do more than contribute financially. They lend conviction, wisdom, and collaboration—helping align people, resources, and strategy around a shared problem to be solved. Often there are several Co-Founders who come together at a fund’s inception, each bringing unique perspective, relationships, and generosity to the table.
As partners in the fund’s formation, Co-Founders serve as members of the Investment Committee. They help establish the initial vision, approve early allocations, and invite others into a collective effort designed for lasting Kingdom impact.
Co-Founders are catalytic givers who:
• Commit meaningful capital toward the fund’s launch and early growth
• Shape strategy alongside the Fund Manager
• Activate peer networks to broaden participation
• Champion the problem and solution publicly and relationally
If you are interested in becoming a Co-Founder of this or another SWGP Fund please contact us at team@solving.org.
We are deeply committed to excellence, transparency, and continual learning. As part of that commitment, we invite independent, third-party organizations to regularly evaluate the work taking place across our funds. Every two years, each SWGP Fund undergoes a comprehensive independent third-party review. This review is made available to all prospective donors and partners and is designed to provide clear, objective insight into both strategy and execution.
The Strategic Review Includes:
• Theory of Change – A clear articulation and review of strategy. Assessment of how other funders and approaches are attempting to address the same problem, alongside a brief explanation of why the fund has chosen a different path.
• Risks and Assessment – Identification of key risks and how the fund manager is mitigating.
• Portfolio Analysis – Investment activity and return reporting, where applicable. Verification of the accuracy and precision of both internal and external reporting.
• Governance and Operations – Diligence on fund governance and grantmaking practices.
This process ensures accountability, strengthens decision-making, and builds trust—so donors can give with confidence, knowing the work is being evaluated with the same rigor they expect in any other area of stewardship.
