THE OMIDYAR GROUP

Founded by Pierre and Pam Omidyar, The Omidyar Group is a diverse collection of companies, organizations and initiatives, each guided by its own approach, but all united by a common desire to catalyze social impact. Our approach is grounded in the Omidyars' belief that we are all part of a global community, and that the impact of our individual choices reaches far beyond our own lives. When these choices are positive, we believe they foster a thriving world where people are free to act on their... inherent capabilities, and are supported by institutions that are accountable, responsive, and just. We cultivate our work through four focus areas: Courageous Leadership - The challenges of today and tomorrow require discerning leaders who approach solutions with innovative mindsets, unafraid of challenging the status quo Good Governance - Wise decisions emerge from effective governance that is just, responsive, and sensitive to our interdependencies. We believe a strong democracy respects individual liberty and privacy, values citizen engagement, and requires government transparency and accountability Informed & Engaged Citizens- A healthy society relies on citizens being engaged and informed. We support a free and robust press and quality journalism to give citizens the accurate information they need to hold those in power accountable Thriving Communities - We are all connected through a global community, and when people and communities are empowered and respectful of their interdependencies, societies flourishMore
