Meet Social Impact Hub
We’ve created a hub for the programs, people, and resources that drive impact in Australia and overseas. We’re powered by Australia’s largest network of impact-specialists, and collaborate with Foundations, Government, Corporates, and more.
As both a social enterprise and an ACNC-registered charity, we’re on a mission to harness the full potential of people, organisations, and capital for the benefit of society and our planet.

From one founder to a Hub for thousands.
Social Impact Hub was founded in 2014 by Jessica Mendoza-Roth. An impact investor and entrepreneur, Jessica was inspired by her experiences at Harvard to build an organisation that would kickstart Australia’s nascent social enterprise sector. Starting with a humble pilot program with volunteer university students, the Hub now supports hundreds of social enterprises every year through advisory, education and specialist programs.
