Good people helping good people
On Fig is a philanthropic platform supporting people, organizations, and ideas working toward stronger communities. Sometimes that means funding. Sometimes partnership. Sometimes building something ourselves. We believe meaningful change can start in more ways than one.

A discreet digital place for the questions girls really want to ask, the things they're not sure who to tell, and trusted resources to help them figure out what to do next. It feels like your best friend and shows up like your big sister.

Purses packed with new beauty items, samples, and everyday essentials, going to girls at Melody House, a community home in Montego Bay. A purse is a small thing to give and a large thing to carry.
How to pack a purse
Friends pooling what they already had — skills, access, time, connections — so one of them could have the day she wanted. No application, and no real line between who was helping and who needed help.

One entry per initiative
Not funding categories. Areas we keep coming back to — and one that exists so an excellent idea doesn't have to fit in a box.
How we think about it
Money matters. So do introductions, access, information, time, creativity, expertise, visibility, and showing up. We'd rather ask what would actually help than hand you an application form.
Why Fig
Figueroa Street runs alongside USC in Los Angeles — where our paths crossed, and where much of what we believe about community, opportunity, and responsibility began. Mentoring girls a few blocks from campus taught us the same thing over and over: sometimes what changes something is simply having someone show up.
Years later, we have more to give. On Fig is where we put it to work.
We'd like to hear about it.
