We’ve delivered more than $1B in cash directly to 2+ million people living in poverty and crisis across 15 countries, and rigorous research shows the results: healthier kids, stronger businesses, sturdier homes, and more resilient families and local economies. Cash is now widely recognized as one of the most scalable, cost-effective, and dignified forms of aid.\nOur ambition goes beyond our own programs. We want cash to become the benchmark for aid, much as the index fund became the benchmark for investing, so that every aid dollar is held to one question: is this doing more good than giving the money directly to people living in poverty?\nWe’re growing fast, and this is a rare and important moment to join.\nWe expect to hit $1B in revenue in 2026 with significant growth forecast for 2027. At the same time we are building a new technology stack and operating model designed for a roughly 10x change in scale, and we are actively pursuing partnerships with major funders to move even more money in bigger ways, to people who need it. We are known for our extensive integration of technology into field processes; our quantitative approach to performance measurement; and our commitment to rigorous, independent, experimental evaluation of our impact, with multiple Randomized Control Trials completed and others in progress.\nHow we work\nOur team spans 20+ countries and 69 languages. Our culture is candid, analytical, and non-hierarchical. We expect high ownership and give people real responsibility early. Our values are central to how we hire, work, and grow, and they are deliberately opinionated:\nRecipients first. Recipients’ preferences come before those of donors or ourselves.\nTeam next. We optimize for organizational success, not individual success.\nBe proactively candid. We say what we believe and share information openly.\nCreate positive energy. We aim to be a source of energy for colleagues, not a drain.\nThink rigorously; act quickly. We reason from first principles, then act rather than debate.\nKnow yourself and grow. We own our imperfections and seek feedback to grow.\nAccept reality. Propose solutions. We focus on what can change and bring solutions, not just problems.\nBe productively ambitious. We take risks for step-change impact, not incremental progress.\nIf they describe how you like to work and they energize you, this could be a great fit.\nWant to learn more? Read and listen:\nWe are one ofTime100’s Most Influential Companies of 2026, and our work has been covered byThe Economist,NPR,TED, andThe Washington Post.
