What's next

At Propel, we're asking ourselves: if we were to build our organization from scratch today, with AI helping us, what would be possible?

‍

Social problems don't wait; they grow larger every year. Yet, AI often reaches the people tackling them too late. That's exactly what we want to change.

Five years ago, we started Propel with one conviction: the social sector deserves access to technology and talent.

Since then, we've supported hundreds of leaders across Latin America who know the challenges in their communities firsthand. They don't lack ideas or the determination to solve them; they lack the tools and resources to do it.

‍
Today, with artificial intelligence, that conviction becomes more urgent.

‍
AI is changing how we work and solve problems. We know it also brings real risks. But at Propel, we believe that if we use it with purpose, it can have a positive impact on our region.

‍
We see small teams achieving more. Leaders who now use technology today to understand their data, improve their programs, and reach more people.

Over these five years, we’ve learned that technology doesn’t create impact on its own. People do.

‍
This report tells part of that story and thanks everyone who has believed in and built with us.

‍
If AI is going to transform the world, the people working to make it better have to be part of that transformation.

‍
This is just the beginning.
