We believe one small action can spark countless others.
Topplers is a nonprofit dedicated to finding people brave enough to act on compelling ideas — and building a community that helps those ideas grow.
How Topplers Began
There's a gap in how change gets funded.
Most grants go to established organizations. Most awards recognize people after they've already succeeded. The people who need support most — the ones standing at the very beginning, with an idea and the courage to try — often have nowhere to turn.
Topplers was created to fill that gap.
We started with a simple observation: the most transformative movements in the world didn't begin with resources or credentials. They began with one person who decided to start. Alex didn't build a $250 million foundation — she opened a lemonade stand. Ryan didn't launch a global nonprofit — he did chores to raise $70. Muhammad Yunus didn't create a banking institution — he lent $27.
The domino fell. And then another. And another.
We believe there are thousands of people like Alex, Ryan, and Muhammad right now — people with ideas that could spark chain reactions of good, if only they had support at the right moment.
That's what we do. We find them. We fund them. We build a community around them.
Vision
A future where more people around the world — regardless of their differences — are united by the belief that one small action can spark countless others that lead to lasting, positive change.

- • To inspire and support individuals who have compelling ideas that set in motion a chain reaction of good.

A different kind of nonprofit.
Topplers is built on the belief that small, consistent actions add up — including in how we operate.
We run lean. We use technology to maximize impact. We invest in people, not overhead. And we practice what we preach: we started with a simple idea, and we're building momentum one step at a time.
Our program — The Domino Award — provides seed funding, coaching, and community support to individuals we call Branch Builders. People at the very beginning. People whose ideas, with the right support, could set something extraordinary in motion.
A Note from Our Founder
[Herb — this section is yours to write. A few sentences about what drove you to relaunch Topplers, what you believe about small actions and change, and what you hope this community becomes. Aim for 100–150 words. Honest and specific beats polished and generic.]
