SAGE encourages you to give forward through causes that are important to you. As an organization, we advance causes that strengthen education, restore our environment, and promote economic security. We call these the “3 Es,” and we believe these areas of impact enable younger and future generations to thrive.

Provide inspiration, training and support over a nine month program to help people lead their own community benefit projects, often in partnership with nonprofits or governmental organizations.

These projects run the gamut from establishing community parks, gardens and centers, to funding scholarships for higher education, to leading efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels across large geographic regions.

Each SAGE team has different people and partners involved, and they are all facilitated by SAGE to advance an important community initiative.
