WHO WE ARE
Noble Change is a pioneering digital philanthropy platform dedicated to funding groundbreaking scientific research that addresses the world’s most urgent global challenges.
Our platform will empower individuals from around the world to contribute just 1 penny (or its equivalent) daily towards transformative social, environmental, and explorational initiatives that turn small contributions into life-changing solutions for humanity and our planet.
Social initiatives
Social initiatives focus on improving the quality of life for communities and individuals by addressing critical issues such as poverty, education, healthcare, inequality, and mental health. The goal is to create positive, lasting change in society and support the well-being of individuals on all levels.
Environmental initiatives
Environmental intiatives aim to protect and preserve the planet, tackling challenges like climate change, pollution, resource depletion, and the conservation of biodiversity. The focus is on sustainable solutions that safeguard the Earth’s natural resources for future generations.
Explorational initiatives
Explorational initiatives involve the pursuit of new knowledge and discovery through scientific exploration, whether it’s exploring new frontiers in space, the deep ocean, or remote parts of the world. These initiatives expand human understanding and fuel innovation, driving progress that shapes the future of humanity.
OUR VALUES
Curiosity
Science and innovation have drastically enhanced and transformed our lives, shaping the world we live in today. At Noble Change, we believe the potential of what is yet to be achieved is limitless. It’s the curiosity and drive for progress that fuels our mission to make the impossible possible.
Discretion
Noble Change isn’t about the people behind it—it’s about the movement we will create. Our identity lies in the impact we will make globally, not individual recognition. Even something as small as a single penny can lead to transformative change when united with billions of others. Together, we will create a powerful force for global progress.
THE PROBLEM
CHRONIC UNDERFUNDING
Noble Change will be vital for addressing global challenges that suffer from chronic underfunding, including a staggering £4.2 trillion annual gap in achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. By leveraging micro-donations, Noble Change will democratise philanthropy, allowing billions of people to contribute just 1 penny a day through everyday transactions. If 1 billion people participated, this would generate over £3.65 billion annually - enough to make a substantial impact on issues like poverty, climate change, and global health.
This approach not only creates a sustainable funding stream but also enhances transparency and trust, ensuring that every penny is effectively used. By channeling consistent support into scientific research and innovation, Noble Change will transform these small, daily contributions into powerful forces for global change.

Strategic Advantages of Focusing on Research & Innovation
Traditional charities often concentrate on short-term relief, providing immediate aid like food, shelter, and medical care. While this approach addresses urgent needs, it frequently lacks a long-term impact. For instance, 80% of charitable donations are directed towards immediate relief rather than systemic solutions. In contrast, Noble Change is committed to long-term sustainable solutions through the power of science and innovation.
We recognise that over 90% of scientific discoveries never transition from the lab to real-world applications, resulting in a significant loss for both science and humanity. The global research funding gap exceeds £1.5 trillion each year, leaving potentially life-saving innovations undeveloped.
By partnering with top research universities, we bridge this critical gap and ensure that groundbreaking research becomes a catalyst for transformative change. Our approach will address the root causes of major global challenges, such as preventable child mortality and lack of essential resources & healthcare, ensuring that visionary ideas translate into enduring solutions. Our mission is to ensure that the benefits of science and innovation reach everyone.
“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.“

How We Use Our Resources
Global Impact Projects
Every contribution supports meticulously selected initiatives that tackle essential global priorities: poverty alleviation, education, healthcare, environmental sustainability, and wildlife conservation. Among these efforts, we will focus on two urgent global challenges: advancing mental health solutions and addressing the vital connection between climate change and human health.
In particular, we will prioritise safeguarding critical assets like clean water, which is increasingly threatened by scarcity. By partnering with research institutions, governments, and innovators, we will develop sustainable solutions that preserve these vital resources, ensuring their availability for future generations while addressing the broader impacts of climate change on human health.
Discovery Research
We will partner with top universities to support scientific innovations that tackle global challenges and save lives. From advancing personalised medicine to developing decarbonisation technologies for our net-zero goals, we believe in harnessing science’s potential to improve and enrich lives everywhere.
There is a significant gap in translating academic research into practical solutions. This gap underscores the need for increased support and collaboration between research institutions, universities, and funding bodies to ensure that valuable discoveries can effectively address global challenges and improve lives.
Transparency and Accountability
We will maintain rigorous transparency standards, providing detailed reports on how funds are allocated and the impact achieved, so donors can trust that their contributions are making a meaningful difference.
Global Impact Fund
Our Global Impact Fund, will be an investment vehicle focused on transformative sectors such as climate technology, life sciences, and sustainability. Designed to drive growth and enhance financial stability, this fund ensures we will have the resources to sustain and expand our mission.
A key aspect of our strategy will be our investment in innovative spin-off companies, primarily from the universities that we partner with, ensuring alignment with our long-term vision and a direct impact on the cutting edge of research and development.
Types of investment vehicles we will invest in:
• Venture Capital
• Private Equity
