Welcome to the Lab.

A creative launchpad for the next wave of philanthropic innovators.

The Simply People Lab is a launchpad for bold, emerging changemakers—nonprofits, innovators, and philanthropic entrepreneurs. Here, creative problem-solvers in generosity get the visibility, resources, and community to amplify their vision, ignite generosity, and turn bold ideas into movements that ripple across the world.

The Heart Behind

the Simply People Lab

We spotlight bold generosity in motion to fuel creative initiatives in the world of philanthropy. The Lab is where generosity meets opportunity, connecting world-changing ideas with people who can help them grow and make a greater impact.

Each lab initiative starts with a simple ask: help us expand our ripple.

We turn those asks into opportunities for others to be part of something bigger. The Lab is a hub of growing movements where generosity ignites innovation and ripples into global impact—inspiring everyday people to step in with generosity, action, and prayer.
