The two gatherings

In partnership with Virgin Unite, GIVE has held two gatherings on Necker Island.

  • CHANGE 2025

    March 26–30, 2025

    The first gathering brought 43 leaders from fintech, impact investing, nonprofits and research to Necker Island for five days of workshops and working sessions.

  • CHANGE 2026

    June 7–11, 2026

    The second gathering returned to Necker Island in June 2026, again in partnership with Virgin Unite, for five days of workshops, working sessions and conversation.

In their words

Exceptional – felt like camp meets TED meets weekend at Bernie’s (except Bernie here is not dead rather very much alive and living in the most inspired way)
