Virgin Unite is the independent, entrepreneurial foundation of the Virgin Group and the Branson family, founded in 2004 to unite people and ideas for a better world. Its mission is to challenge the unacceptable and create systemic change by convening purposeful communities, incubating bold collaborations, and backing entrepreneurial solutions.
Virgin Unite focuses on three core areas: changing business for good, championing a just society, and supporting a healthy planet.
Over the past 20 years, it has helped establish more than 20 initiatives, including The Elders, The B Team, Planetary Guardians, and Unite BVI, catalysing over $5 billion in impact. All operating costs are covered by Richard Branson and Virgin Group, ensuring that 100% of donations go directly to initiatives.
Virgin Unite embodies Virgin’s spirit of positive disruption, taking risks and leveraging social capital to tackle global challenges such as climate change, human rights, and criminal justice reform.
