Why Do We Give Back?
At GAIA Insights we believe in giving back to people and movements in need, to make the world a better place for all of us. This is why we dedicate a percentage of our annual revenue to causes we strongly believe in.
While we are all about corporate leaders, the next generation is already waiting in the wings to step out into the spotlight when their time comes. We are convinced that all children on this planet deserve a chance to shine and to live up to the potential they are born with, despite the conditions or environment in which they grow up. Therefore, we assist organizations that support children in need and help improve the health of our planet.
A purposeful act or extension of kindness to another is never wasted, for it always resides in the hearts of all involved in a chain of love.

We are a sponsor of GAIA Gives – In 2020, GAIA Insights established the independent association GAIA Gives to expand the potential of leaders who are quietly changing the world, who need and deserve further leadership development, but who may not have access to it. GAIA Gives offers professional training on select leadership topics to NGOs, charity organizations, grassroots movements and local communities either free of charge or delivered at cost. We connect amazing (future) leaders with knowledgeable experts to support them.
GAIA Insights also provides financial support to a range of organizations aligned with our values in caring for People, Planet and Purpose. You might like to take a closer look and if something resonates with you – why not consider supporting them too?
