The Legacy campaign
Goal: $5,900,000 in funding to establish a better pathway for humanity and recreate the world.

Overview
G100, as a charitable organization, will collaborate with The SKR Legacy Collective Fund (charity organization) to raise awareness of and promote and market in order to raise funds for initiatives that align with the shared ethos of G100 and SKR, such as:
• Operate with the values and principles of Sir Ken Robinson and G100
• Celebrate and promote the diversity of human capacity to improve lives
• Create a tangible impact

Provide awareness of; marketing for and funds to The SKR Legacy Collective Fund (the fund) as a Lifetime Partner in Vision, which encompasses the involvement of G100 in the growth of all four (sectors) of the overall We Imagine If vision:
• Initiative 1 – The SKR Living Archive
• Initiative 2 – In His Element Documentary
• Initiative 3 – Imagine if… Annual Festival & Campaign
• Initiative 4 – The SKR Fellowship Programme

Current Campaign Focus
We are actively fundraising for Initiative #1 – The SKR Living Archive.
The campaign kicked off on May 31, 2022, to raise critical funds for the development of Sir Ken’s Legacy, which continues to benefit and inspire hundreds of thousands of people – around the globe – who make up the movement that he helped to spark.
We will do this through the development of an open-sourced, public online hub for those involved in and dedicated to creating a future for us all, which will house:
• Cutting-edge research
• Courses
• Events
• Editorial content
• Networking opportunities

IMPACT Opportunity
Sir Ken argued that at this point in our evolution, the human race is facing two urgent crises: A crisis of natural resources, caused by our systematic stripping of the life-sustaining resources the Earth provides; and a crisis of human resources, caused by our systematic stripping of the diversity of skills and talents that human communities depend upon to thrive. We have come to a critical pass with both – we cannot continue in this direction, or we will find ourselves without a future. Sir Ken believed that we could take lessons from the first crisis and apply them to the second.
• Raise Awareness of the crisis of human resources so that it becomes an internationally recognized situation that must be urgently addressed
• Empower and Encourage hundreds of thousands of people to demand better for themselves and for their children
• Provide Resources and Tools for embracing a richer conception of human imagination, creativity and intelligence

SUPPORT THE EQUAL TO EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

In 2020, the world and our G100 community lost two prolific leaders; Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sir Ken Robinson who inspired generations – through education and example – they made what seemed the impossible; possible. To honour these Visionaries, we are establishing a scholarship fund.

Our first G100 Inspiritus Campaign will support the extraordinary work of another member of our G100 Visionary community, Sima Samar.

She is a doctor for the poor, an educator of the marginalized, and a defender of the human rights of all in Afghanistan. She has established and nurtured the Shuhada Organization that has operated more than one hundred schools and 15 clinics and hospitals dedicated to providing education and healthcare, particularly focusing on women and girls. She served in the Interim Administration of Afghanistan and established the first-ever Ministry of Women’s Affairs. Since 2002, she has chaired the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission that promotes and protects human rights and holds human rights violators accountable, a commitment that has put her own life at great risk.

The G100 Foundation is developing a grassroots global campaign to support Sima Samar and the Shuhada Organization so they can continue to educate women in Afghanistan and the Afghan refugee community in Pakistan.

Our scholarship fund will enable 165 women to attend Gowharshad University with a full scholarship and become empowered through knowledge. It will also make possible what seemed impossible due to their environmental and economic circumstances.

Impact Region:
Afghanistan and Afghan refugee community in Pakistan

Fundraising Goal: $2,000,000 USD

• To provide funding for higher education for females where access to education is not encouraged, accessible, or economically feasible.
