About 360
More people deserve a place in what comes next.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working at the intersection of innovation, inclusion, and public benefit.
Good ideas can come from anywhere.
The opportunity to develop them is often uneven. A founder may understand a community's needs but lack an established network. An institution may have committed people but need a clearer way to test an idea. A team may see an opportunity across borders but need help understanding the context.
360 Social Impact Studios brings practical learning, venture-building experience, and collaborative relationships to those situations. Our work connects the United States and Brazil, with attention to the knowledge and priorities people bring from their own communities.
What guides the work.
People closest to the problem belong in the process.
We value lived experience alongside technical and institutional knowledge. Listening is part of building a useful solution.
Evidence makes an idea stronger.
We help people ask useful questions, test assumptions, and learn before committing more resources.
Context changes what works.
Cross-cultural work calls for curiosity, care, and a willingness to adapt. Knowledge should move in more than one direction.
Public benefit stays at the center.
Innovation matters when it helps people and communities. Equity, sustainability, and inclusion shape the questions we ask.
A nonprofit built around possibility.
Founded by Chandler J. Lewis, 360 Social Impact Studios supports public-benefit innovation through learning, founder development, and collaboration with organizations and institutions.
We welcome conversations with people who want to build, share experience, or connect their organization's work with a broader social purpose.
