WHO WE ARE

Rally is a vibrant ecosystem of entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, corporate advocates and higher education institutions addressing intractable social, economic or environmental problems by accelerating the growth of world-class social entrepreneurs. We’re developing programing to cultivate and convene the actors in that ecosystem.

INVEST IN REGIONAL IMPACT

Rally Makers are philanthropic partners whose giving is treated like an investment in regional systems change—measured, strategic, and tied to outcomes that matter. If you’re a business leader, corporation, or individual looking to support social enterprise in Central Florida, let’s talk.

Rally’s Impact

Founded in 2016, Rally began as a grassroots response to the disconnect between philanthropy and entrepreneurship. What started as hands-on mentorship and lean venture design has evolved into a full-scale Living Lab. Today, we collaborate with changemakers, institutions, and neighborhoods to source, test, refi ne, and scale innovations—strengthening Central Florida and informing best practices worldwide.
